Question

How many innings in college softball?

Last updated: September 6, 2025

Answer

College softball in the U.S. is 7 innings, following the same format as standard fastpitch rules.

However, if the score is tied after 7, the game continues into extra innings until there’s a winner. This prevents any tie games, which is especially important during playoffs and championship tournaments.
