The consensus #2 Nebraska Cornhuskers were awarded the #4 national seed for the 2026 NCAA Softball Tournament and will begin play this Friday May 15th at 5:30pm vs. the #4-seed Summit League tourney champion South Dakota (20-34-1, 7-11 conference). The game will be broadcast on ESPN+. The Lincoln regional will be hosted on Rhonda Revelle Field at Bowlin Stadium.
Louisville and Grand Canyon round out the Lincoln bracket and are the #2 and #3 seeds respectively. South Dakota earned the Summit League auto-bid by defeating UNO 2-1 in the title game Saturday after UNO had forced their way in to the winner-take-all if-needed game with a 10-1 victory earlier in the day.
Before the Huskers and Yotes square off, the Cardinals and the Antelopes will open Lincoln regional play at 3pm CST.
As a top-8 seed, Nebraska is guaranteed a second host weekend for the ensuing best 2-of-3 NCAA Super Regional the following weekend. Oklahoma State (38-15, 16-8 Big 12) is the national #13-seed for the tournament and would be the opponent in Lincoln should both teams win their regionals. Omaha Skutt’s Ruby Meylan would likely pitch every game for the Cowgirls should this scenario come to pass.
This will be Nebraska’s 28th NCAA Tournament appearance and the 24th for Head Coach Rhonda Revelle which ranks fifth among active coaches at their current school. The Huskers rank 14th all-time in NCAA Tournament appearances, 20th in wins (69) and 15th in Women’s College World Series appearances (7).
This is the fifth time Nebraska has hosted an NCAA regional and the first since 2013. That season also marked the Huskers’ last appearance in the Women’s College World Series.
