Division II women's bowling (2027) On January 16, 2026, the Division II membership approved the establishment of a
bowling championship for that division. Currently, the
NCAA bowling championship, sanctioned for women only, uses a "National Collegiate" format, with members of all three divisions competing for a single championship. The first D-II bowling championship will be held in spring 2028; under NCAA rules, once a division-specific championship is created for a sport that uses the National Collegiate format, two National Collegiate championships must be held before the division championship can start. The following programs will start competing for the new Division II championship in 2027–28, assuming that their parent institutions do not close, drop varsity bowling, or leave Division II. Conference affiliations reflect those for bowling. Sponsorship information is taken from the official NCAA membership directory, which is searchable by division and sport. The
list of NCAA women's bowling programs also contains references to future programs.
