The 2020 St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational schedule was released Wednesday morning by ESPN Events and is presented by Wilson.

There will be 39 high-profile Division-I games played during the weekend of Feb. 13-16 at the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, Fla.

Five of the 16 participating teams played in the 2019 Women's College World Series, including defending national champion UCLA, and 14 programs made the NCAA Tournament field.

Tickets for this event are sold out but you can be placed on the waitlist here. Single day passes will go on-sale in October.

Here are six games on the schedule that should have big crowds.

Alabama vs. Washington

Could there be a better game to end the first night of the weekend? We don't think so. Just picture Montana Fouts versus Gabbie Plain. After not playing one another last season, this could be a WCWS preview.

Minnesota vs. Oklahoma State

Happy Valentine's Day to softball fans everywhere. ESPN's gift is another potential WCWS matchup.

James Madison vs. Texas Tech

This is an intriguing game because both teams had a great 2019 season. The Dukes lost to UCLA in the Super Regional round and the Red Raiders lost to LSU in the if necessary game in Regionals. Texas Tech surpassed expectations last year and is looking to build on that.

Georgia vs. Northwestern

Does anyone remember how great this 2018 Regional Final was? We do! Northwestern is back and in a big way. Georgia will have to find out how to replace Alyssa DiCarlo but this definitely could be a fun game to watch.

Alabama vs. UCLA

Another gift to softball fans. We will just go ahead and thank the tournament directors right now.

Mizzou vs. Virginia Tech

This game will feature two of the best young players in the game. Virginia Tech's Darby Trull was named an SA All-American last season and Jazmyn Rollin was a finalist for Freshman Player of the Year.
