The 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Tournament will begin on December 2, 2021 and end on December 18th, 2021, to determine the Division I National Champion.

The Final Four will be held at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The national semifinals will be held on December 16 and the championship match will be held on December 18.[1]

Kentucky, from the Southeastern Conference, is the defending national champion.

Tournament schedule and venues

The first two rounds, normally referred to as the subregionals, will be played at the sites of the top 16 seeds, replicating the format done in the basketball tournaments. The regionals will be played at four non-predetermined campus sites, which will be announced on December 5. [2]

National Semifinals and Championship

Qualifying teams

The following teams automatically qualified for the 2020 NCAA field by virtue of winning their conference's tournament. Unlike the 2020 tournament that consisted of only 48 teams due to COVID-19, the 2021 tournament returned to the usual format of 64 qualifying teams.

While Penn State remains as the only team to take part in all 41 tournaments, this is the first tournament appearance for Campbell, The Citadel, UIC, Mississippi State, South Alabama, and West Virginia, for a grand total of six teams. [2]
