NCAA Div. I women's soccer tournament: Bracket, schedule, seeds for 2023 championship

The beginning of November means it's time for the NCAA women's soccer tournament, and 64 teams will attempt to make it to Cary, North Carolina, and win the 2023 College Cup.

Leading the tournament is No. 1 Florida State, which finished the season unbeaten with a 16-0-1 record and a fourth straight ACC title, as the Seminoles look to win their second national championship in three seasons. Just behind FSU is defending national champion UCLA, which finished at 16-1-1 and a Pac-12 championship, as the Bruins attempt to become the first back-to-back champions since North Carolina in 2008-09.

The bracket is broken down into four quadrants, with seeds 1-8 in each quadrant hosting first-round games. Second- and third-round games will be played at eight campus sites of the highest seed remaining, and quarterfinals played at the highest seeded team's home stadium before the final four teams reach the College Cup.
