The Big 12 regular season has come to a close, and now it's time for the conference's top softball programs to battle it out for the 2026 championship. With the tournament bracket set, fans are in for a weekend of high-stakes action at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

Three teams enter as near-locks for the NCAA tournament: top-seeded Texas Tech, No. 2 Oklahoma State, and No. 3 Arizona. But the drama doesn't stop there—programs like Kansas and Central Florida are hoping a strong showing this weekend could boost their at-large bid chances, making every pitch count.

All eyes are on the Red Raiders, who are looking to defend their 2025 conference title. If their regular-season performance is any guide, they're on track to do just that. Senior pitcher NiJaree Canady is entering the tournament red-hot, having thrown a five-inning perfect game against Baylor last weekend. That kind of momentum could be the difference-maker in a tight bracket.

Here's your complete guide to the 2026 Big 12 softball tournament, including TV channels, streaming options, and the full schedule.

Most tournament games will stream exclusively on the ESPN app, but the championship game will air live on ESPN. It's the perfect setup for fans who want to catch every pitch—whether you're watching from home or on the go. And if you don't have cable, you can still stream all the action through the ESPN app, which offers live coverage of NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, college sports, and more.

The tournament runs Thursday through Saturday at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, with the winner earning an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
