2019 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament TV and Announcer Schedule on ESPN Networks

March 18 was Selection Monday for the 64 women’s teams; their seedings and regions were announced for the upcoming annual tournament to ultimately determine college’s women’s national champion in Division I basketball.

There will be 63 tournament games televised on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3. The tournament’s early round games will air regionally, according to its suitable television market.

Two-time national champion Baylor is the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. Baylor (31-1) is joined by defending national champion Notre Dame, Louisville and Mississippi State on the No. 1 seed line.

Longtime favorite UConn isn’t among the region No. 1 seeds for the first time since 2006.

The Final Four semifinal and national championship title games will be held at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on Friday Apr. 5 and Sunday Apr. 7 — all three games will air on ESPN.

The following are the scheduled game start times (all times Eastern; start times subject to change), locations and respective networks for tournament action:
