Women's NCAA Tournament 2024: Complete Schedule, Bracket, How to Watch, Game Times, Odds

March Madness kicks off with the First Four on Wednesday and Thursday.

The 2024 women's NCAA tournament field of 68 is set and tips off with the First Four starting Wednesday.

While all eyes will be on Iowa star Caitlin Clark, the odds are not in the Hawkeyes' favor. That goes to No. 1 overall seed South Carolina, which enters the tournament undefeated at 32–0. Iowa, USC and Texas fill out the other top seeds in the bracket.

From those odds to the schedule, here's everything you need to know about the highly anticipated women's NCAA tournament.
