(Updated 23-Nov-2019) The NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship continues this week with a total of 24 matches being played from Thursday, November 21st to Sunday, November 24th, as the tournament field is whittled down from 32 teams to just 8.
Unlike the First Round matches, which were each hosted by one of the teams involved, Second Round matches are paired off based on the tournament bracket and hosted by one of the four teams involved. Third Round matches, between the winners of each paired Second Round match, are also played at the same site.
All Second Round matches and most Third Round matches have confirmed live streams and/or television broadcasts scheduled. (As of when the article was published. Updates are shown in green.)
The bottom of this article includes a complete schedule of the Second Round and Third Round matches along with broadcast and/or streaming provider, if available.
I highly recommend bookmarking the official interactive bracket (link below) in order to follow the live scores. Each match should have a direct link to the online video stream, if available, as well as live play-by-play and live statistics.

A few matches (marked with “???” question marks) do not have any confirmed live streaming or television coverage information available (as of the time this article was published).
Official NCAA RPI (Rating Percentage Index) ranks are provided for each team in parentheses, in order to give a rough idea of relative team strength. The RPI rankings are as of November 10th, meaning that they do not include NCAA tournament results.
