The 2023 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 2023. The season progressed through the regular season, many conference tournaments and championship series, and concluded with the 2023 NCAA Division I softball tournament and 2023 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 USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium, ended in June 2023.

Realignment

[edit]
Further information: 2021–2024 NCAA conference realignment

Five schools began transitions from NCAA Division II to Division I on July 1, 2022.[1]

A total of 17 softball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2022 season.

Incarnate Word had announced plans to leave the SLC for the WAC after the 2022 season,[16] but days before that move was to take effect, the school announced it was staying in the SLC.[17]

The 2023 season was the last for 14 softball schools in their current conferences, as well as the aforementioned Hartford's only season as a D-I independent.

Other changes from 2022

[edit]

Two Division I members, both sponsoring softball, adopted new names after the 2022 season. Neither school's nickname was affected.

Other headlines

[edit]
  • On December 29, 2022, the Big West Conference announced it would add a softball tournament effective as early as the 2025 season.[26] The 2025 start date was later confirmed by a vote of the conference chancellors and presidents, with an official announcement in October 2023.[27]
