The 2023 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament will be a single-elimination tournament of 68 teams to determine the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college basketball national champion for the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The 41st edition of the tournament will begin in March 2023, and conclude with the championship game on April 2 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Big Sky champion Sacramento State, Atlantic 10 champion Saint Louis, Southland champion Southeastern Louisiana and WAC champion Southern Utah will make their NCAA debuts, while CAA champions Monmouth will make its first NCAA appearance since 1983.

Tournament procedure

Further information: NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament § Current tournament format

A total of 68 teams will participate in the 2023 tournament, consisting of the 32 conference champions, and 36 "at-large" bids to be extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. The last four at-large teams and teams seeded 65 through 68 overall will compete in First Four games, whose winners will advance to the 64-team first round.[1]

2023 NCAA tournament schedule and venues

The first two rounds, also referred to as the subregionals, will be played at the sites of the top 16 seeds, as was done from 2016 to 2019.

A dramatic change from past tournaments is that the regional rounds (Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight) will be held at two sites, instead of the four used in past tournaments. Two regionals will be held in Greenville, South Carolina and the other two will be held in Seattle. Specific regional names will be announced by the NCAA committee on or before selections are announced on March 12, 2023.

First Four

  • March 15—16
  • Four of the campuses seeded in the Top 16.

Subregionals (first and second rounds)

Regional semifinals and finals (Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight)

National semifinals and championship (Final Four and championship)

This is the second time the women's Final Four will be played in Dallas (previously, in 2017).[3]
