The madness is about to begin. The 2025 women’s NCAA Tournament will start on Friday with a full slate of first-round games.
Thirty-two teams are set to take the court, hoping to secure wins and advance to the second round. That set of squads includes No. 1 seeds UCLA and South Carolina, which will take on No. 16 seeds Southern and Tennessee Tech, respectively.
Other big matchups worth monitoring include Friday’s opener between No. 6 Michigan and No. 11 Iowa State, which defeated Princeton in a First Four game behind a 27-point performance from Audi Crooks. Additionally, No. 7 seeds Louisville and Vanderbilt could be on upset alert against No. 10 seeds Nebraska and Oregon, respectively.
Here is everything you need to know about today’s schedule, including TV and streaming options for each game.
