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

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

• Le Moyne joined the Northeast Conference (NEC).

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

• BYU, Houston, and UCF joined the Big 12 Conference.[3][4]
• Campbell joined the Coastal Athletic Association.[5]
• Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, UAB and UTSA joined the American Athletic Conference.[6]
• Jacksonville State, Liberty, New Mexico State, and Sam Houston joined Conference USA (CUSA).[7]
• Western Illinois joined the Ohio Valley Conference.[8]

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

• Eight of the nine softball-sponsoring members of the Pac-12 Conference left for other conferences:
  • Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah joined the Big 12 Conference.[9]
  • California and Stanford joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.[10]
  • Oregon, UCLA, and Washington joined the Big Ten Conference.[11][12]
• Kennesaw State left the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) for CUSA.[13]
• Merrimack and Sacred Heart left the Northeast Conference for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.[14]
• Oklahoma and Texas left the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference.[15]
• Oregon State, the last softball-sponsoring school remaining in the Pac-12, is housing most of its non-football sports, including softball, in the West Coast Conference for at least the 2025 and 2026 seasons.[16]
• Stephen F. Austin (SFA) and UTRGV left the Western Athletic Conference for the Southland Conference (SLC).[17][18] SFA rejoined the SLC after a three-season absence.

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

• Mercyhurst left the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for the NEC.[19]
• West Georgia left the Gulf South Conference for the ASUN.[20]

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]

Other headlines

• March 3 – Louisiana defeated Oklahoma 7–5 in 8 innings, ending the Sooners' Division I-record 71-game winning streak.[22]

Conference winners and tournaments

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.
