Big Ten Announces Volleyball Opponent Rotations for 2026

The Big Ten Conference announced its volleyball opponent rotations for the 2026 season on Monday. 

With the addition of a Big Ten Conference Tournament for the first time in 2026, teams will play 17 regular-season conference matches instead of 20. 

Nebraska will play nine Big Ten home matches and eight away matches this fall. 

The Huskers' nine home matches will be against Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin. 

NU's eight away matches will be against Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Oregon, Penn State and Washington. 

Rotations will operate on a two-year cycle, so Nebraska's home and away matches will flip for 2027.
