All Four No. 1 Seeds Reach Women College Basketball Final Four for Second Straight Year

The women college basketball Final Four is set with all four No. 1 seeds advancing: UConn, UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina. This is the second straight year the same four teams have reached the Final Four.

Four American women's college basketball teams have advanced to the 2026 NCAA Division I tournament Final Four. The four teams are UConn (University of Connecticut), UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), the University of Texas, and the University of South Carolina. All four teams are seeded first in their respective regions.

This marks the second consecutive year that all four number-one seeds advance to the Final Four, creating an identical lineup to last year's tournament. This rare occurrence highlights the competitive strength of these elite basketball programs and the consistency of their performance at the highest levels of college sports.
