Women's college basketball season runs November through April, peaking with conference tournaments in March and the NCAA Tournament (March Madness) ending in early April. We index every game across D1, D2, D3, and NAIA.
D1, D2, D3, and NAIA all in one place
Most aggregators only cover D1. We index every division — including the smaller schools where games are often free or low-cost to attend, and where the local college team is the closest live women's sports option for many cities.
Watch on TV / streaming
D1 games air on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN+, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, ACC Network, Pac-12 Network, FOX, FS1, CBS, CBSSN, and conference-specific streaming services. Smaller divisions stream on FloSports, NCAA.com, and individual school streaming sites.
March Madness
The NCAA Women's Tournament begins in mid-March with 68 teams. Games air across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ABC, and ESPN+. The Final Four and National Championship typically air on ESPN/ABC.

- What is the difference between D1, D2, D3, and NAIA?
- NCAA Division I is the top tier (UConn, South Carolina, Iowa, etc.). Division II is mid-tier with partial scholarships. Division III is non-scholarship. NAIA is a separate small-college association. We index all four because the closest live game to you is often not D1.
