A total of 68 teams will enter March Madness on the women’s side, as the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship kicks off on Wednesday, March 15 with the First Four.
This year the Women’s Final Four is in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center, with the national semifinals taking place on Friday, March 31, and the national championship game set for Sunday, April 2 at 3 p.m. ET on ABC.
Unlike with the men’s tournament where the First Four is played in a separate location, the women’s tournament plays all First Four games in the location of the city where the winning team will advance. Also this year will be the first time there will be just two regional sites instead of four, as both Greenville, North Carolina and Seattle, Washington will each host two quadrants of the bracket on the second weekend.
That means eight Sweet 16 teams will play at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville from March 24-27, and the other eight at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Each city will have two teams advance to the Final Four in Dallas.
