The stage is set for an exhilarating 2025 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. 68 teams are vying for a championship and to etch their names in the history books, but only one will stand tall above the rest when it’s all said and done.

Looking at the bracket, the SEC and Big Ten are well-represented among the top-seeded teams in the field, showcasing the power the leagues had in the lead-up to March Madness. Will they be able to continue their monster seasons with the pressure turned up to an 11? That’s the question that’ll be answered over the course of the NCAA Tournament.

The highest-seeded teams in each region will host the first two rounds before heading to Regional sites in Spokane or Birmingham. It all culminates with the Final Four in Tampa in April.
