The Pac-12 Conference softball tournament was the conference tournament in softball for the Pac-12 Conference. The winner received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I softball tournament. After several years of consideration, the tournament began in 2023 and ended the next year.[1]
The Pac-12 was one of the few conferences to not host a conference tournament at the end of the regular season. The inaugural tournament was held in 2023 at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. The Pac-12 softball tournament was a single-elimination tournament and all nine of the Pac-12 schools which field softball teams qualified for the tournament. The winner earned the Pac-12's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.[1]
The 2024 Pac-12 Conference tournament was the final tournament, as eight of the nine softball-sponsoring members of the Pac-12 Conference will leave for other conferences in 2025. Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah will join the Big 12 Conference.[2] California and Stanford will join the Atlantic Coast Conference.[3] Oregon, UCLA, and Washington will join the Big Ten Conference.[4] [5]
