Virginia is the #7 national seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, which means hosting the regional round beginning Friday, and the possibility of hosting next weekend.

UVA (45-12) will face Army (38-16) at noon on Friday on ESPN+. East Carolina (45-17) and Oklahoma (31-26) will meet Friday night in the other half of the four-team regional bracket.

The four-team, double-elimination format will continue with doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday at noon and 6 p.m. If necessary, a second regional final will take place on Monday (time TBD).

The entire regional will be broadcast live on ESPN platforms and streamed on ESPN.com and the ESPN app. All game times and television designations are subject to change.

All three programs in this year’s regional field have played in a Charlottesville Regional before: Army (2012, 2013), East Carolina (2011, 2016) and Oklahoma (2012). The Sooners also played UVA in the 2010 Super Regionals in Charlottesville.

The winner of the 2023 Charlottesville Regional will square off against the Conway Regional comprised of #10 national seed Coastal Carolina, Duke, UNCW and Rider.
