2023 Pac-12 Conference softball tournament

The 2023 Pac-12 Conference softball tournament was held from May 10 through May 13, 2023 at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. This marked the first postseason championship event sponsored by the Pac-12 Conference since 1978, the first to feature more than two teams. As the tournament winner, Utah earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA Division I softball tournament.

Seeds The tournament featured nine teams in this conference (Colorado, USC & Washington State do not field teams). Teams played once per day at the 2023 Pac-12 Softball Championship. The four-day event began with a play-in game between the eighth and ninth-place teams in the regular-season standings. That winner advanced to an eight-team, single-elimination bracket with the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship being contested on the following three days. The winner of the Pac-12 Softball Championship received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The seedings were determined upon completion of regular season play. The winning percentage of the teams in conference play determined tournament seedings. There were tiebreakers in place to seed teams with identical conference records.
