Big Ten volleyball is landing on the big stage, as Fox expands its NCAA coverage this season. Its 2026 broadcast lineup headlined by a primetime broadcast of the conference's first-ever Big Ten Women's Volleyball Tournament final.
The inaugural tournament runs November 20-25, with 10 of its 14 matches earning national TV coverage. The finalists will then square off alongside Netflix's first Wednesday NFL game and college basketball's Feast Week.
Fox will carry three Big Ten volleyball matches overall, including volleyball blueblood Nebraska. The team's popularity has convinced the network to slot its Wisconsin matchup onto a college football-dominated Saturday on October 10th.
This season's NCAA volleyball schedule features several marquee Fox windows beyond the tournament. The slate includes Big Ten/SEC Challenge Week matches from Wrigley Field — Nebraska vs Missouri and Penn State vs Kentucky — airing in primetime on September 6th.
FS1 is also expanding its slate to 16 regular-season matches featuring Big Ten teams, up from nine a year ago. However, NBC and Peacock are not scheduled to air any Big Ten volleyball this season.
Fox's NCAA volleyball coverage tips off August 22nd with Wisconsin vs Louisville.
