All the anticipation is finally over — the 2026 Women’s March Madness bracket has been revealed, and it’s a doozy.

To no surprise, the defending champions UConn snagged the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament, meaning the Huskies will have a target on their back as they look to pull off back-to-back titles campaigns. UCLA, Texas and South Carolina round out the remainder of the regional top seeds.

But of course, upsets are the hallmark of March Madness. Fans should also be on the lookout for programs like LSU, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Ohio State, Duke, Iowa and more to make convincing campaigns throughout the coming weeks.

Who will defy the odds and become 2026 champions?
