Nebraska opens Big Ten play with a pair of home games against Michigan (Sept. 24) and Maryland (Sept. 27). The first road match will be at defending national champin Penn State on Oct. 3, with the Nittany Lions returning to Lincoln on Nov. 28.

For the first time since 2018, Nebraska will not host Wisconsin for a volleyball match. The Huskers head to Madison on Oct. 31.

Note: There was not a season in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NU's West Coast road trip will be to Los Angeles in mid-November, taking on UCLA on Nov. 14 and USC on Nov. 15. The Big Red will close out the regular season with a home match against Ohio State on Nov. 29.

Nebraska is coming off of a 33-3 season in which the Huskers finished as co-Big Ten Champions. Just a few months ago, head coach John Cook retired and was promptly replaced by former Husker Dani Busboom Kelly.

"Dani Busboom Kelly bleeds Husker," Big Ten analyst Emily Ehman said on B1G Today. "With the returners that she's handed, this is a team that I would be shocked if they didn't at least win the Big Ten if not a national championship."

The season will begin with a pair of matches in the AVCA First Serve Showcase at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln against Pittsburgh and Stanford.

The known schedule, including a few non-conference games, is below.
