Final Four expert predictions: Who wins 2026 women's NCAA bracket?
Our experts reveal their Final Four picks and national champion predictions — see who they think is cutting down the nets in Phoenix.
As the clock ticks down to tip-off, you're reading all you can about who's going to make it to the Final Four and eventually win women's March Madness. And we're here to help you with all of that. Our staffers who know ball have declared who will be the Final Four teams (save for one certain person I'm saving for the end who refused!
) along with who's hoisting the trophy while confetti rains down in Phoenix. Here's a look at our expert predictions: UConn (Final Four: UConn, South Carolina, UCLA, Texas) The same four that went to the Final Four last season will be back again. That said, I think how it happens will look different from 2025.
There will be a national championship rematch between South Carolina and UConn. Unfortunately, it will be in the semfinals and have the same result. For UConn, it will get back to the national title game, but it won't be South Carolina waiting for them.
It will be UCLA. If there was ever a year for UCLA to prove it can get to the national championship, this would be it. The Bruins have depth and six WNBA prospects on its roster, who have all had stellar seasons.
