The tournament features 36 teams, including the top 16 national seeds, competing across four regional locations: Lexington, Baton Rouge, Tempe, and Corvallis. The format includes play-in dual meets followed by quad meets, with the top two teams from each regional final advancing to the championships.
Oklahoma, LSU, and Florida are the top seeds, reflecting SEC dominance. All four regionals will stream exclusively on ESPN+ starting in April.
