Road to the 2023 WCWS: College softball tournament bracket reveal, schedule, how to watch


Can Oklahoma three-peat as champions of the college softball world? Or will someone stop the Sooners dynasty?

The road to the 2023 Women’s College World Series begins this week with regional play, and No. 1 seed Oklahoma is seeking its fifth WCWS championship since 2016. The Sooners can become only the second team to win three national titles in a row (UCLA, 1988-90).

But there are 63 other teams in the NCAA tournament looking to end their reign, like No. 2 seed UCLA, No. 3 seed Florida State, No. 4 seed Tennessee and No. 5 seed Alabama.

We break down the 64-team field and provide you updates with the schedule, scores and how to watch the NCAA tournament.
