Women's College World Series free live streams, schedule to watch Texas vs. Texas Tech softball without cable

It's official — the 2026 Women's College World Series final will be a rematch of 2025. Texas and Texas Tech will go head-to-head in a three game series starting Wednesday.

Though Texas had a rough pathway through this year's WCWS, the program's dream of back-to-back titles is still alive and well. After a 6-3 loss to Tennessee to open their World Series campaign, the Longhorns battled through the losers' bracket and ended up defeating the Lady Vols twice to clinch a spot in the championship final.

In similar fashion, Texas Tech fell into the losers' bracket after a defeat from Tennessee, but the Red Raiders defeated Mississippi State and UCLA in elimination matchups to stay alive. Tech then pulled off an upset, sweeping No. 1 seed Alabama in two games to continue onto the national stage once again.

Who will hoist the trophy in the end?

Here's how to watch the 2026 Women's College World Series final for free, including start times and streaming options for each game between Texas and Texas Tech.
