OKLAHOMA CITY – No. 8 [7] Tennessee begins its journey at the 2026 Women's College World Series as it takes on No. 2 overall seed Texas on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET on ESPN at Devon Park.

The NCAA Tournament's No. 7 seed, the Lady Vols (47-10) made it to Oklahoma City after going 5-0 in the Knoxville Regional and Super Regional.

Last weekend at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium, Tennessee took down 10-seed Georgia in two games. The Lady Vols won Game 1 3-1, followed by a 2-1 Game 2 victory. Sophia Knight hit two home runs over the weekend, with a solo shot in the first contest and a two-run blast in the second.

Great photo of our Lady Vols!

Love how the picture includes the fans there in the backgroun! I was able to attend a mid-week game back in March, and my daughter and I sat right up there behind home. Had a really good time! GBO!!!

Edit: Wish they had gotten those crazy guys who dress up and lead the cheering in the photo.

No one wants to sit behind the outfield walls for $100 lol. When I went 4 years ago I paid $100 for a lower level ticket against OU, and $50 for a ticket against Alabama 🥲
First pass search for “WCWS tickets”:

Far cry from the almost $900 each you were quoting. Seems like some one has yer number… 😉

Of course as the resellers realize there won’t be a huge contingent from Norman, even these prices will drop. I would hate to have paid $900 last week before the market changed…

Have not followed softball closely this year. Is there a clear favorite in the college world series? Wonder if Oklahoma team and fans are still in shock?
I don’t think there is a clear favorite as far as eyes go. Alabama has been good but beatable. Texas Tech bought that team so they may be the favorites but been playing with fire. I have no idea lol

Check again. I don’t see anything in main stands for less than $700 today. Lower level is pushing $1500
