Some notes on the changes to this year's format...
- Bracket Expansion
- The bracket was expanded from 28 to 32 teams, meaning each of the four Super Regions will now send eight teams to postseason play. No more first-round byes for the No. 1 seeds.
- Automatic Qualifiers
- Division II did away with the old earned-access model and moved to the more-straight-forward automatic qualifier format. Thus the '25 GLVC champion will earn automatic inclusion to the playoff bracket.
- Realignment
- The super regions experienced realignment for the first time since 2017. UIndy and the other GLVC teams will remain in Super Region 3, as will the GLIAC, but SR3 will now include the G-MAC and the Northern Sun (NSIC). SR4 teams will be forced to deal with the powerhouse programs of the MIAA (Pittsburg State, to name just one) and the GAC (e.g. Harding).
