Complete ACC softball tournament bracket, schedule

[ASFN Admin]

The bracket for the 2026 ACC softball tournament has been set, and the action will start on Wednesday, May 6, at Palmer Park in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Florida State Seminoles earned the No. 1 seed and will not have to play until Thursday.

Fifteen of the 18 teams made the tournament: The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Boston College Eagles, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish missed out. The Duke Blue Devils won the regular-season title for the third straight season under Jon Scheyer.

The Seminoles are the No. 1 seed after winning a share of their 19th ACC regular season championship overall and the 9th under head coach Lonni Alameda. They can seal the outright title on Sunday by completing a sweep of Boston College. They have won at least a share of nine out of the last 13 ACC regular-season championships.

The ACC Tournament will last until Saturday, May 9, when one team will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Here is a look at the full bracket, including dates, times, and TV channels.
