LOVB is not playing around. They've just dropped a bombshell for the 2026 season.
BIG TIME BROADCAST
League One Volleyball (LOVB) is taking their game global — 66 matches, served up across USA Network, ESPN platforms, and Victory+. You want volleyball? You got it. From January 7, 2026, it's wall-to-wall action.
Chief Media Officer Raquel Braun knows what's up: “Women’s volleyball has never been more in demand, and LOVB is meeting that moment.” She's not wrong. This isn't just more volleyball. It's a full-on avalanche.
STACKED LINEUP
And it's not just about the matches. LOVB's bringing in the big guns. Courtney Thompson, 2x Olympic Medalist, headlines USA Network’s Match of the Week. Alongside her? Former Division I dynamo Shelby Coppedge on play-by-play. That's just the start.
Over on ESPN and Victory+, they've got Anne-Marie Anderson, Kevin Barnett, and a slew of volleyball legends ready to break it down. This crew? No joke. Tom Feuer, Executive Producer, calls it “the deepest and most accomplished broadcast lineup ever assembled.”
CAN'T-MISS MATCHES
Mark January 7. It's a blockbuster rematch — LOVB Austin vs. LOVB Nebraska. Season 1 MVP Madisen Skinner will be there, looking to dominate again. And keep an eye on starting libero Lexi Rodriguez. She's a problem.
And just like that, the stage is set. Twenty-eight matches on ESPN, more on Victory+, and of course, the LOVB Classic in Kansas City. February 13-15 — don't miss it. The LOVB Playoffs in April? Oh, it's on.
This season? It's a game-changer. Volleyball's coming for the crown.
