Here's everything you need to know about the NCAA softball tournament selection show, including TV channel and streaming options for the 2026 bracket reveal.

It’s almost time to grab your gloves and rally caps—the road to the Women’s College World Series is about to be paved. This Sunday, the NCAA softball tournament selection show will reveal the full 64-team bracket for the 2026 Division I championship, and you won’t want to miss a single pitch of the action.

This year’s tournament promises plenty of drama, with powerhouse conferences like the SEC and Big 12 expected to dominate the field. But don’t sleep on the Big Ten, which has shown serious strength this season. Last year, Texas made history by defeating in-state rival Texas Tech to claim the program’s first-ever national championship—a moment that still has fans buzzing.

The selection show airs live on Sunday, May 10, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2. If you’re cutting the cord or on the go, you can stream the entire bracket reveal on the ESPN app or through fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers. That means you can tune in without a cable subscription and catch every regional matchup announcement.

Here’s a quick refresher on how the tournament works: 64 teams will compete, including 32 automatic bids from conference champions and 32 at-large selections. The selection committee will seed the top 16 teams, who will each host a four-team regional in a double-elimination format. Only one team from each region will advance to the super regionals, and from there, just eight squads will make the trip to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series.

While we wait for the official bracket, you can check the latest NCAA RPI rankings to get a sense of which teams are in the mix. Whether you’re rooting for a perennial powerhouse or a Cinderella story, this year’s tournament is shaping up to be one for the ages. So mark your calendars, stock up on your favorite team gear, and get ready for softball at its finest.
