Conference winners and tournaments

Of the 31 Division I athletic conferences that sponsor softball, 30 end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament or a double elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. Only one conference, the West Coast Conference, does not hold a conference tournament. The winners of these tournaments, plus the West Coast Conference regular-season champions, received automatic invitations to the 2025 NCAA Division I softball tournament.
