LOVB Volleyball Releases 2026-27 Schedule

LOVB has officially released its 2027 schedule for all 10 teams as the league heads into its third year of play.

The regular season will run from Dec. 16 through April 11 and feature 110 regular-season matches, with playoff information to be announced at a later date.

Four new teams join LOVB this season and the ten teams will be split into two conferences. The Eastern Conference includes LOVB Atlanta, LOVB Madison, LOVB Miami (new), LOVB Minnesota (new), and LOVB Nebraska. The Western Conference includes LOVB Austin, LOVB Houston, Los Angeles Orbit (new), LOVB Salt Lake, and San Francisco Signal (new). Under the new format, teams will play their conference opponents three times and their non-conference opponents twice.

Reigning back-to-back champions Austin and Nebraska will kick off the season at the LOVB First Serve event on Dec. 16 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. The match kicks off the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship weekend (Dec. 17-20) in hopes of further bridging generations of volleyball players and fans as college favorites and past Olympians continue to join forces on the court.

The first week of play will feature six other LOVB teams, including two of the expansion teams. Los Angeles travels to Houston on Friday and San Francisco goes to Atlanta on Saturday. Rounding out opening weekend, Austin and Salt Lake will meet up in a rematch of last year's LOVB Championship. Miami and Minnesota will fight it out for their first professional win when they face each other on Dec. 22.

The 2026-27 season will see an addition of 66 new athletes, including 31 international players, 10 Olympians, and 17 All-Americans. There are 20 new outside hitters, 18 middle blockers, 11 opposite hitters, seven setters, and nine liberos.
