Women's NCAA Tournament Set to Showcase Unprecedented Parity

Top seeds UCLA, South Carolina, USC, and Texas lead the field in one of the most competitive brackets in recent memory.

The 2025 Women's NCAA Tournament features no undefeated teams and significant parity among top programs, with six teams seen as potential champions.
UCLA, South Carolina, USC, and Texas are expected to secure No. 1 seeds, with UConn likely leading the No. 2 seeds.
For the first time, women's teams will earn financial performance units for victories, creating new revenue opportunities for conferences.
The tournament will begin with top 16 seeds hosting early rounds, regional rounds in Spokane and Birmingham, and the Final Four in Tampa, Florida, on April 4.
Historic streaks are in focus: Stanford is expected to miss the tournament for the first time in 36 years, while Tennessee maintains its perfect attendance since 1982.
