Women’s March Madness 2026 schedule, bracket: Times set for Final Four games

The Final Four is set in the women’s NCAA Tournament, and every No. 1 seed has made it to Phoenix. UConn, South Carolina, UCLA and Texas are left standing and will battle for the national title this weekend. All four teams are back in the Final Four for the second consecutive year.

UConn, undefeated this season and winners of 54 games in a row, will face South Carolina on Friday in a rematch of last year’s title game. UCLA, on its own 29-game winning streak, faces off against Texas. Game times were announced Monday night.

While there have been a handful of upsets — Michigan was the only No. 2 seed in the Elite Eight, No. 6 Notre Dame pulled off two upsets and 10th-seeded Virginia made a run to the Sweet 16 — all four No. 1 seeds have gone unbeaten in the tournament, with the closest margin of victory being UCLA’s 12-point win over Duke in the Elite Eight.
