2023 Women's College World Series bracket, schedule set

With Super Regionals play wrapping up, the bracket for the 2023 Women’s College World Series is now set. The eight remaining teams are set to begin play on Thursday at Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City as one will be crowned national champion by June 9.

The Women’s College World Series is a double-elimination format. The final two teams then play a best-of-three series for the national championship.

Oklahoma is a familiar face at the WCWS, making its seventh straight appearance. The Sooners have claimed the last two national championships and are the favorite to win their third in a row. They defeated Clemson 8-7 on Saturday to win the Super Regional, also breaking the NCAA record for most wins in a row in the process as they notched their 48th straight.

The Sooners’ in-state rival, Oklahoma State, is back in the WCWS for a fourth year in a row after a pair of dominant wins against Oregon in Super Regionals. Elsewhere in the bracket, Stanford is making its first WCWS appearance since 2004 and just the third in school history. The Cardinal swept Duke in Super Regional play, advancing with a 7-2 victory on Saturday.

Tennessee is back in the final eight for the first time since 2015. The Vols shut out Texas 9-0 on Saturday to make the field as pitcher Payton Gottshall allowed only two hits.

The final two schools punched their ticket to the WCWS on Sunday. Utah defeated San Diego State by a score of 7-2 and will make its first Women’s College World Series appearance in 29 years. Finally, Alabama reached the field with a 3-2 win against Northwestern.
