Overview
The Final Four of the NCAA Division I women’s basketball tournament has been broadcast on television since 1982. In the early years, CBS carried the championship game, with occasional semifinals on other networks. Over time, ESPN’s family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) and ABC became the primary broadcasters, with national telecasts in exclusive windows growing widespread. The tournament was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, ESPN networks aired all 63 games exclusively across ESPN properties. In 2022 ESPN introduced a MegaCast for the Final Four, and through 2025 ABC/ESPN continue to broadcast the event from various host arenas.
