Major League Volleyball (MLV) isn't just back — it's ready to dominate. Omaha Supernovas fans, buckle up. This league is a wild ride.
THE SUPERNOVAS' BIG MOVE
What do you get when you mix the Omaha Supernovas and $100 million? A league revolution. After a heated 2025 season, the Supernovas planned an exit from the PVF, aiming to create a rival league. Co-owners Jason Derulo and Danny White weren't playing around.
Let's be real, the Supernovas were already a powerhouse, boasting the highest average attendance in pro volleyball history. But their ambitions? Bigger.
THE PEACE DEAL
And then everything changed. August came, and with it, a peace deal that brought the Supernovas back into the fold. The PVF rebranded to Major League Volleyball, welcoming new investors and expanding the league's horizons. Vivek Ranadivé, with his Sacramento franchise, joined the mix, further shaking things up.
NEW FRANCHISES, SAME FIRE
The 2026 MLV season will feature eight teams, including expansion franchises in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. The Orlando Valkyries, reigning champions, won't let their crown go easily. But the Supernovas? They're hungry for redemption after falling to the Indy Ignite in the 2025 semifinals.
Salaries now range from $60,000 to $175,000. This league means business. And with matches broadcast on CBS Sports Network and more, you won't miss a beat.
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Supernovas have sparked a revolution. MLV isn't just a league; it's the future of volleyball. With stars like Kerri Walsh Jennings backing the league, the competition is fiercer than ever.
Brace yourselves. The 2026 season? It's going to be epic. That'll do it.
