- South Carolina and UCLA will meet in the 2026 NCAAW national championship
- The Gamecocks reached the title game by handing UConn its first loss of the year
- See the opening South Carolina vs UCLA odds for Sunday’s title game
The South Carolina Gamecocks (36-3) and UCLA Bruins (36-1) will meet in the NCAA Women’s Tournament final on Sunday, April 5th. Both teams won as underdogs on Friday, but it was the Gamecocks’ 14-point rout of undefeated #1 UConn (62-48) that really turned heads.
Call it recency bias if you will, but the opening South Carolina vs UCLA odds favor the Gamecocks to win their fourth national title. UCLA is still searching for its first natty.
Opening South Carolina vs UCLA Odds
At DraftKings, South Carolina was priced at -125 to win the title with UCLA a +105 underdog immediately after the title-game matchup was set. But within minutes, the Gamecocks had shortened to -155 and UCLA faded to +130. The spread opened at SC -2.5 (-110) with the game total at 132.5 (-110 odds both ways).
At prediction site Kalshi, South Carolina is an even bigger favorite, priced at 62¢, which is equal to a -163 moneyline price in traditional sports-betting terms. UCLA is priced at 42¢ (+138) to win its first national championship in school history.
