ESPN will be the home of the 2014 NCAA Division I Softball Championship presented by Capital One beginning Friday, May 16, featuring exclusive coverage from seven Regional sites, all eight Super Regionals and the Women's College World Series. Regional round coverage (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3) features up to 49 games from seven campus sites (May 16 - May 18). ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will televise every game from the eight Super Regionals (May 22 - May 25) and Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla. (May 29 - June 4).
