Women's College World Series finals schedule, TV channels, scores for 2026 NCAA softball championship

The Women's College World Series has come down to a Lone Star State showdown once again in 2026.

Texas and Texas Tech will play for the NCAA softball championship for the second consecutive year, with the Longhorns trying to repeat and the Red Raiders looking for their first national title in their second trip to the WCWS. 

Both teams had to come through the losers' bracket to get to this stage, with Texas downing Tennessee twice Monday after losing to the Lady Vols in their opener and the Red Raiders knocking off No. 1 seed Alabama in back-to-back games. 

Will the Longhorns come out on top again in the best-of-three finals or will NiJaree Canady help bring the trophy back to Lubbock? 

Here's all you need to know to watch the WCWS finals.
