The 2024 NCAA Division I Softball season, play of college softball in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level, began in February 2024. The season progressed through the regular season, many conference tournaments and championship series, and concluded with the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament and 2024 Women's College World Series. The Women's College World Series, consisting of the eight remaining teams in the NCAA Tournament and held annually in Oklahoma City at Devon Park, ended in June 2024.

Realignment

[edit]

One school began a transition from NCAA Division II to Division I on July 1, 2023.[1]

A total of 15 softball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2023 season.[2]

The 2024 season was the last for 16 Division I softball schools in their current conferences.

Two softball-sponsoring schools started transitions from D-II after the 2024 season:

In addition to these changes, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems split IUPUI into separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions at the end of the 2023–24 academic year, a move similar to the two systems' dissolution of their joint Fort Wayne campus in 2018. The IUPUI athletic program was transferred to the new IU Indianapolis and rebranded as IU Indy, maintaining IUPUI's memberships in Division I and the Horizon League.[21]

Conference winners and tournaments

[edit]

Source:[62] Of the 32 Division I athletic conferences that sponsor softball, 30 end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament or a double elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. Two conferences, the Big West and West Coast Conference, do not hold a conference tournament. Conference tournament winners plus the Big West and West Coast Conference regular-season champions receive automatic invitations to the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament.
