USC Volleyball 2026 Schedule Overview

Last updated: August 24, 2026

The 2026 USC women's volleyball schedule runs 27 matches - ten non-conference and a true 17-match Big Ten round robin in which the Trojans face every league opponent exactly once. Fourteen of those are at the Galen Center. USC opens August 29 at the State Farm Showcase in Sioux Falls against No. 12 Arizona State on FS1, then No. 13 Creighton on BTN the next morning: two ranked opponents in two days, on national television, before playing a match that counts at home. The September 2 trip to Texas is part of the inaugural Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge Week and airs on ESPN2, followed by a short trip to San Diego on September 6. Six straight home matches then close non-conference play, beginning with the September 11 home opener against Arizona and a run of former Pac-12 opponents - Arizona and Colorado, both now Big 12, plus current Pac-12 member Oregon State - before UC Davis, Pepperdine and UC Santa Barbara. Big Ten play opens on the road at Northwestern and Illinois, then alternates home and away weekends. The only back-to-back league matches all season are Ohio State and Penn State on October 16 and 17. Senior Day is November 14 against Washington, and the regular season closes at UCLA on November 17. Full dates, Pacific start times, venues and confirmed broadcast are below.
