The 2020 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament (also known as the 2020 Women's College Cup) was the 39th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I women's collegiate soccer. The Santa Clara Broncos defeated the Florida State Seminoles in a penalty shoot-out to win the national championship.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA postponed the fall championships, hoping to play them in the spring. In September, the NCAA approved a plan to hold fall championships in the spring.
Instead of the usual 64-team tournament, the field is reduced to 48 teams for the 2020 tournament.
Rather than the higher seed hosting the early-round matches, the entire tournament will be played in the state of North Carolina, similar to how the 2021 men's and women's basketball tournaments were held in a single state.
48 teams qualified for the Division I women's soccer tournament. There were 29 conference champions after the Big West Conference and Ivy League chose not to have a 2020 fall or 2021 spring season. The other 19 were at-large selections.
