The California softball team opens the 2026 season this weekend at the Stanford Invitational, ready for a year of transition - from a new coaching staff to a remade roster to a season away from Berkeley. New head coach Steve Singleton takes over the program after helping Texas win the 2025 NCAA championship as an associate head coach, and he has brought in 15 newcomers to help navigate a season in which the Golden Bears will have no true home. While The Cal Softball Field is being renovated into one of the premier facilities in the country, the Bears will play four "home" ACC series at nearby locations - three at West Valley College in Saratoga and the other at Sacramento State. Cal won't play any nonconference games at home this season.

PROGRAM LEGACY
The Bears have made 36 NCAA Tournament appearances in history, which ranks fourth all-time behind UCLA, Arizona and Florida State. Cal, which has advanced to each of the past three NCAA Regionals, has also qualified for the Women's College World Series 12 times. The Bears won the NCAA championship in 2002.

ABOUT STEVE SINGLETON
Steve Singleton was named the ninth head coach of the California softball program on Aug. 4, 2025. A former minor league baseball player and a native of nearby Oakland, Singleton spent three years coaching in professional baseball in the lower levels of the minors before being named an assistant coach at Texas in 2019. He ultimately was elevated to associate head coach and helped the Longhorns make three WCWS appearances. Singleton, who also coached collegiately at Florida Southwestern State, was named D1 Softball's Assistant Coach of the Year in 2024.
