2024 NCAA Softball Tournament Selection Show date, time, how to watch

The 2024 NCAA Softball Tournament Selection Show decides the 64-team tourney field on May 12. The Big 12 has three of the top teams vying for top seeds as regional hosts in the postseason, including the No. 1 Texas Longhorns, No. 2 Oklahoma State Cowgirls, and No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners.

Oklahoma claimed the Big 12 Tournament crown this weekend with a 5-1 win in the final over the Longhorns. That puts the Sooners in the conversation with the Longhorns for the top overall seed in the NCAA Softball Tournament this postseason.

After regionals are decided, super regionals begin on May 23 to determine which eight teams will play in the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, OK, between May 30 and June 7.
