Alabama Needs One Win to Reach Championship Series

Alabama is one victory away from punching its ticket to the Women's College World Series championship series. The Crimson Tide face Texas Tech in Game 13 on Monday, June 1, with a win clinching a spot opposite defending champion Texas. Texas Tech, emerging from the loser's bracket, must beat Alabama twice to keep its season alive.

Alabama can punch its ticket to the championship series with a win, while Texas Tech must beat the Tide twice to advance after emerging from the loser's bracket.
  • Game 13 is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
  • If necessary, Game 14 will follow at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
  • The winner faces Texas in the championship series beginning Wednesday, June 3.

Alabama's pitching and defense have carried the team through the WCWS bracket. The Tide's balanced attack will need to contain Texas Tech's powerful offense to secure the decisive win.

Texas Awaits as Defending Champion After Sweeping Tennessee

Texas secured its third-straight WCWS finals appearance by sweeping Tennessee in two elimination games on Monday. The Longhorns won Game 11 5–2 and Game 12 4–0 to eliminate the Volunteers and advance.

Texas is the defending champion after beating Texas Tech in the 2025 championship series.
  • The Longhorns have not lost a WCWS final since 2023 and are bidding for a repeat title.
  • Texas awaits the winner of the Alabama–Texas Tech matchup, with the championship series starting June 3.
  • Texas's pitching staff allowed just two runs in two games against Tennessee.

The Longhorns' experience in high-pressure elimination games makes them a formidable opponent regardless of who emerges from the other bracket.

Alabama's Path Through the 2026 Tournament Bracket

The 2026 NCAA DI softball tournament bracket was revealed on Sunday, May 10. Regional play ran from May 15–17, followed by super regionals from May 21–24. Alabama advanced through its regional and super regional to reach the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
