The best place to start a week of volleyball is with the matches already on the calendar. This watchlist draws from the team schedules in the project and the dated AVCA poll snapshot. It does not fill gaps with projected opponents, invented tip times or assumed broadcasts. The full TV schedule by day lets you filter beyond the selected games below.
Matches to watch, September 29–October 5, 2026
We put confirmed head-to-head games between two ranked teams first. A meeting with one ranked program comes next, followed by listed broadcasts. Those are editorial sorting rules, not a prediction. The ranks below are from the AVCA Coaches Poll — September 21, 2026; visit rankings for the complete dated table and each team page for its latest recorded result.

How to use this watchlist
The seven-day window follows the site's render date. Rebuilding and deploying the site refreshes first-load HTML for the new week and any edited results, times or network assignments. The page does not auto-refresh and it does not replace a school’s official schedule. A generic conference or NCAA tournament row with no named opponent is excluded because it is not yet a real matchup.
Open the daily TV hub to filter by conference, team, network or ranked status. Use the viewing guide to understand a network label. If two team schedules disagree about a broadcaster, the listing uses a recorded assignment from either side and should be checked again before first serve.
Frequently asked questions
How are these matches picked?
The list favors matchups with two teams in the stored Top 25 poll, then matches involving one ranked team and those with a recorded network.
Are these the current AVCA poll ranks?
The badges and movement come from the poll date printed on this page. They should not be read as a later poll.
Why is a game missing?
The watchlist uses only unplayed matches in the next seven days in our tracked team schedules. An untracked opponent may have no team page here.
When are times and networks updated?
Only when the project schedule data is updated and deployed. TBA means no confirmed detail is stored for that match.
