2024 NCAA DI Women's Volleyball Championship Set to Begin with 64-Team Single-Elimination Bracket

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) women's volleyball tournament will feature a 64-team field in a single-elimination bracket, kicking off the championship competition. The announcement made by the Division I Women’s Volleyball Committee revealed that all 31 automatic qualifiers and 33 at-large selections will partake in the upcoming tournament.

The highly anticipated Selection Show for the 2024 NCAA DI women's volleyball tournament is slated to take place on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. ET, broadcasted on ESPN. The competition will be divided into three rounds: first and second rounds (Dec. 5-7), regionals (Dec. 12-15), and semifinals (Dec. 19). The championship match is scheduled to conclude with the national title being awarded at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 22, via ABC.

The 2024 tournament marks an exciting development in the world of women's collegiate volleyball. For last season's champion Texas, the NCAA DI women's volleyball tournament will serve as a stepping stone towards defending its second consecutive national title, having secured the championship by defeating Nebraska earlier.

Noteworthy for enthusiasts, the upcoming NCAA DI Women's Volleyball Championship has also marked several notable milestones in terms of venues and host cities. For instance, Kansas City, Missouri is set to become the first city to have hosted this tournament on multiple occasions (2025) with The T-Mobile Center serving as the host venue.
