The UAAP softball is only played in the Women's division.
It was not played in thirteen Seasons (1970–73 and 1985–95).
Softball has not only made a comeback from its past hiatus, it has now more school participants than in baseball, its counterpart for the male athletes.
There are currently seven teams participating in the softball tournament while baseball has only six.
*School withdrew from the UAAP in Season 25 (1962-63)
