The 2024 NCAA Division I Softball season, play of college softball in the United States organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level, begins in February 2024. The season will progress through the regular season, many conference tournaments and championship series, and will conclude with the 2024 NCAA Division I softball tournament and 2024 Women's College World Series. The Women's College World Series, consisting of the eight remaining teams in the NCAA Tournament and held annually in Oklahoma City at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium, will end in June 2024.

Realignment[edit]

Further information: 2021–2024 NCAA conference realignment

One school began a transition from NCAA Division II to Division I on July 1, 2023.[1]

A total of 15 softball-sponsoring schools changed conferences after the 2023 season.[2]

The 2024 season is the last for 15 Division I softball schools in their current conferences.

Two softball-sponsoring schools will start transitions from D-II after the 2024 season:

In addition to these changes, the Indiana University and Purdue University systems will split IUPUI into separate IU- and Purdue-affiliated institutions at the end of the 2023–24 academic year, a move similar to the two systems' dissolution of their joint Fort Wayne campus in 2018. The IUPUI athletic program will be transferred to the new IU Indianapolis, maintaining IUPUI's memberships in Division I and the Horizon League.[20]
