Did you know?
How many college softball programs are there?

There are approximately 1,700 college softball programs in the United States across various levels, primarily across NCAA divisions, with additional programs in the NAIA and junior colleges (NJCAA).

• NCAA totals: More than 600 schools sponsor women's softball across the three divisions.
• Division I: Approximately 300 programs (sources range from 286 to 309 as of recent years, with minor annual fluctuations due to conference realignments and new additions).
• Division II: Around 275–290 programs.
• Division III: Over 400 programs (the largest division for softball).
• Other levels:
• NAIA: About 200 programs.
•NJCAA (junior colleges): Several hundred programs across Divisions I, II, and III.

These figures come from NCAA sponsorship data, Wikipedia lists, and recruiting sites like NCSA, reflecting the most recent available information around 2025. The exact number varies slightly year to year due to program additions, drops, or reclassifications. If including all levels (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA), the total exceeds 1,600–1,700 varsity programs.
