With Tennessee softball punching its ticket to the 2025 Women's College World Series on Sunday, the Lady Vols join a group of the final eight teams standing.

First up for Tennessee is the four-time defending champions, Oklahoma.

Here's a look at the full bracket and first pitch times.

The event will start on Thursday with all four games being held. The slate of games will begin at noon ET and run through the final first pitch time of 9:30 ET.

The losers of the first round of games will turn around to play in a pair of elimination games on Friday. The winner survives, and will have to win three more in a row to advance, while the loser has its season ended.

The winning teams of the opening round move on to play the other winners on Saturday. Teams that win on Thursday and Saturday will have two chances to win one game and move to the finals series. Losers of the Saturday slate will need to win three-straight games to advance.

Once there are just two teams remaining in the double-elimination format, there will be a brand new best-of-three series to decide the national champion.

As the national 7-seed, Tennessee will open the WCWS against 2-seed Oklahoma. The Sooners are four-time defending national champions.

First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET in Oklahoma City — the site of every game of the WCWS. The game will air on ESPN.

The Lady Vols already own a series win over Oklahoma this season. On the road, Tennessee took two-of-three against the Sooners in Norman.

All-time, the Sooners own the series 8-7. In WCWS games, Tennessee is 0-3 in the series. Most recently, the Lady Vols fell 9-0 in the 2023 event.

In 2009, the teams met in March in Oklahoma City. Tennessee won both games on back-to-back days at the WCWS host site.

This is Tennessee's ninth trip to the Women's College World Series. It will be the Lady Vols' first time competing in the event since the 2023 campaign.

Twice, Tennessee has made it all the way to the final series of the event. In both 2007 and 2013, the Lady Vols came up short.

In the most recent 2023 run, Tennessee was the No. 4 national seed and opened the trip with a dominant win over Alabama. The Lady Vols were caught by Oklahoma in the following round, but would defeat Oklahoma State to stay alive.

With the task of defeating Florida State twice to advance to the finals series, the Seminoles took the first match to punch their ticket to the championship. The Sooners went on to win the title.
