How to watch 2026 NCAA women’s gymnastics championships: TV channel, schedule and more

Women’s gymnastics does not keep many secrets this late in the season. By nationals, the best teams are usually plain to see.

LSU, Florida, Georgia and Stanford compete in the afternoon session. Oklahoma, UCLA, Arkansas and Minnesota follow in the late window. The national championship airs Saturday. The format sounds deceptively forgiving — the top two teams from each semifinal advance — but it’s the opposite. A season can still narrow to one routine, one landing, one beam set that never quite settles.Advertisement
