FORT COLLINS, CO – Firing up the NCAA D-I softball season in winter weather can be tricky, but the ideal solution is ready for center stage as the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge has announced its lineup for 2025.
 
This is the ninth edition of the event and will again be held over two sessions, Feb. 6-9 and Feb. 13-16, along the sunny and inviting Pacific coast of Mexico. Games are played at Nancy Almaraz Stadium; many teams and their fans will book rooms at the refurbished, oceanside Sheraton Buganvilias Resort and Convention Center, which is walking distance to the stadium.
 
All games will be live-streamed by FloSoftball; here's the lineup for both sessions:
 
Session 1 (Feb. 6-9):
Florida State
Louisiana Tech
Northern Colorado
Oklahoma State
 
Session 2 (Feb. 13-16):
Boise State
BYU
Florida International
Illinois State
Indiana
North Dakota State
 
The Puerto Vallarta College Challenge began in 2015 and has evolved into one of the premier tournaments designed to begin the softball season. It was the first-ever D-I softball event held outside the United States and has included programs from well-known “Power” conferences as well as the deep pool of strong mid-major schools — the Mexican Olympic team also played in the tournament in 2020.
 
Puerto Vallarta remains a safe and easy-to-navigate destination; the area is packed with diversions and entertainment options for fans attending the PV College Challenge. Visit www.pvcollegechallenge.com for more information.
