2025 Women's March Madness schedule, scores: Final Four bracket, tip times, locations, dates, TV channels

The Final Four tips off in Tampa on Friday with a pair of magnificent matchups between South Carolina, Texas, UCLA and UConn

It's time to crown a national champion. After months of play across the country, only four teams remain in contention to earn that crown this season in women's college basketball. The Final Four is here and the teams left standing are some of the best in the country. There are three No. 1 seeds -- UCLA, South Carolina and Texas -- and one No. 2 seed in UConn who was arguably worthy of being a No. 1. 

The action begins on Friday night in Tampa, Florida, when the Gamecocks take on the Longhorns for the fourth time this season and the Bruins battle the Huskies. South Carolina is looking to go back-to-back as champions after completing an undefeated season last year at 38-0. In fact, this season has had as many losses as the last three seasons combined for Dawn Staley's squad (3). One of those came against Texas in a regular season upset that the Longhorns will try to replicate on the biggest stage.

In the other semifinal, Paige Bueckers looks to take another step toward collegiate immortality when she leads UConn against No. 1 overall seed UCLA and Lauren Betts. Bueckers posted one of the best statistical seasons in the history of the sport this year and has continued to stay hot throughout the tournament. Now, she's one win away from finally reaching the national championship game in a career that has been marred by injury.

The Final Four takes place Friday in Tampa, Florida, with the national championship game on April 6.
