For women’s college basketball, the Big Dance ends tonight. Here is everything you need to know for watching the UConn vs. South Carolina women’s March Madness championship game online.
The University of Connecticut vs. South Carolina game vying for the NCAA women’s basketball national title will tip off Sunday, April 6, at 3/2c. The game will be televised on ABC and simulcast on ESPN. If you’re hoping to catch all the action between the Huskies and the Gamecocks, you’ll need access to ESPN or your local ABC channel.
But first, some background on the game itself: The Gamecocks will be defending the crown, having won the national championship game last year against Iowa. Not to mention, the Dawn Staley-led team has won three of the last four titles. (!) This year’s team is propelled by Te-Hina Paopao, Chloe Kitts and freshman standout Joyce Edwards.
Meanwhile, the Huskies are led by coach Geno Auriemma, who is eyeing his 12th national title. The 2025 championship marks the 13th time the team has appeared in the final — having lost only once against the Gamecocks themselves in 2022. The team has been propelled to the 2025 championship round thanks to players like Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong.
