Like the Division I championship, the NCAA Bracket breaks down into sixteen regional brackets. The winners of each bracket will face another bracket winner in a super regional series. The winners of those series play in the eight-team championship finals.

Unlike the Division I bracket, which has 64 teams and thus fits neatly into 16 four-team brackets, the DII bracket has 56 teams. Therefore, several teams are placed into three-team mini-brackets rather than four-team brackets.
