Media coverage

For the first time ever all matches will air on the ESPN Family of networks. Rounds 1 and 2 will stream on ESPN3. Initially ESPN didn't plan to provide commentators for these rounds.[6] After criticism from fans and coaches they changed course and announced they would provide commentary for the first two rounds.[7] The Regional Semifinals will have select matches on ESPN2 and ESPNU with the remainder on ESPN3. All regional finals will air on ESPN2 or ESPNU, ESPN will carry the semifinals, and ESPN2 will carry the National Championship.[8]

Notes
