This is a list of NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament bids by school, at the conclusion of the 2026 conference tournaments. Schools whose names are italicized are no longer in Division I and can no longer be included in the tournament. The 2020 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament was never played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The next tournament in 2027 will be the first with a total of 76 possible bids—32 automatic qualifiers and 44 at-large. This follows five seasons with a 68-team field, featuring 32 automatic qualifiers from 2022–2024 and 31 in 2025 and 2026. The temporary reduction in automatic bids stemmed from the 2024 collapse of the Pac-12 Conference, which was left with only two members until the arrival of seven new members in 2026.
Vacated appearances are not included in the totals.
The table is current through the 2026 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. Conference affiliations reflect those in the upcoming 2026–27 season.
