NCAA Women’s Soccer 2023 Championship Bracket revealed

INDIANAPOLIS — The field of 64 teams, which will compete for the 42nd NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, was announced this afternoon by the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Committee.

Thirty-one conferences were granted automatic bids for the 2023 championship, while the remaining 33 teams were selected at-large. The top 32 teams are seeded, and conference teams cannot play each other in the first or second rounds. When pairing teams, the committee follows geographic proximity parameters.

The four No. 1 seeds include two teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference, with Florida State, the league’s automatic qualifier, being joined by Clemson. UCLA and BYU round out the top seeds.

Coming off their first-ever undefeated regular season, Florida State earned the top overall seed in this year’s NCAA Championship.

Four teams are advancing to the Division I Women’s Soccer Championship for the first time: Idaho, University of Maine, Ohio, and Towson.

First-round action will be played Nov. 10-12, while the second/third rounds will be held Nov. 17 and 19, with the quarterfinals on Nov. 24 or 25.

This 42nd annual NCAA Women’s College Cup will be played on Dec. 1 and 4 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., with the University of North Carolina and Town of Cary, serving as hosts.
