The 2025 Southland Conference softball tournament was held from May 1 through 4 and May 8 to 10.[2] As the tournament winner,[3] Southeastern Louisiana earned the Southland Conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I softball tournament.

The tournament format was the same as used in the conference 2022 and 2025 baseball tournaments. The top eight finishers from the regular season were seeded one through eight, and played a two bracket, double-elimination tournament. The bracket winners moved to the championship series to be held at the home field of the highest remaining seeded team. Teams were seeded by record within the conference with a tie–breaker system to seed teams with identical conference records. The top eight teams in the conference qualified for the tournament.[4]
