Oklahoma will open the 2024 campaign on Thursday, Feb. 8 with a doubleheader against Utah Valley at 10:30 a.m. CT and Duke at 1 p.m. CT OU will then face Washington on Friday, Feb. 9, at 8:30 p.m. CT and close out the weekend against Long Beach State at 1 p.m. CT on Saturday, Feb. 10.

Widely regarded as one of the premier tournaments designed to launch the softball season, the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge began in 2015. It was the first Division I softball event held outside of the United States and has included top-tier programs from Power Five conferences as well as a deep pool of strong mid-major schools. The Mexico Olympic team also played in the tournament in 2020.
