Big East Conference softball tournament


The Big East Conference softball tournament is the conference championship tournament in college softball for the Big East Conference. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I softball tournament.

Tournament

The top four regular season finishers compete in the single-elimination tournament. Beginning with the tournament's inception in 1990, four teams competed in the tournament. From 2006 through 2013, the top eight teams qualified for the event. Beginning in 2014, after the conference split, the Big East reverted to the four-team tournament. After the COVID-19 pandemic and with the return of UConn to the conference, the tournament expanded again to a six-team event, with the top two seeds receiving a single bye.
