Women’s NCAA tournament printable bracket for 2025 with March Madness field revealed

The 2025 women’s NCAA tournament is here. With an increased level of parity in the sport this year, March Madness should be a whole lot of fun. There’s not one real singular Goliath, but a whole lot of Davids aiming to make their mark.

South Carolina looks like a favorite after storming through the SEC Tournament, winning each of its games in Greenville by double figures. But you can’t count out the three teams that beat the Gamecocks in the regular season: UConn, Texas and UCLA. Likewise, the only team to beat the Bruins — and did so twice — was USC, led by superstar guard JuJu Watkins.

Other contenders that look like they have the potential to make the Final Four include a trio of ACC teams in Notre Dame, N.C. State and league tournament champ Duke, while TCU and LSU seem to have the talent necessary for a run to the Final Four as well. And when you’re picking upsets, don’t overlook the Ivy League and other mid-major powers like Fairfield, Norfolk State and South Florida.

The women’s NCAA tournament begins on Wednesday, March 19, with First Four matchups. The national championship is set for Sunday, April 6, in Tampa, Florida.

Quick Facts

A year ago, South Carolina won its third national championship with Dawn Staley as its head coach.

The last time the Final Four was played in Tampa was 2019, with a semifinal field that included Baylor, Notre Dame, UConn and Oregon. Kim Mulkey’s Bears narrowly beat Muffet McGraw’s Irish for their third national title in program history.

Women’s college basketball has not seen a repeat champion since Geno Auriemma’s UConn — powered by Breanna Stewart — won four straight between 2013 and 2016.

A 16-seed has beaten a No. 1 in women’s basketball just once, when Harvard upset Stanford in the first round of the 1998 tournament.

Since the women’s tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1994, a 15-seed has never beaten a No. 2 in 120 tries. The same is true for No. 14 seeds against No. 3s.
