Vanderbilt University announced on Apr. 22 the release of its 2026 Southeastern Conference volleyball schedule, featuring seven home and eight road matches for the Commodores in their second season since returning from a 45-year hiatus.
The new schedule is significant as it marks another step in Vanderbilt’s reestablishment within SEC volleyball, offering fans several opportunities to see high-profile opponents at Memorial Gymnasium.
The Commodores will begin their conference play by hosting Kentucky, the runner-up in the 2025 NCAA tournament, on Sept. 23. Following a stretch of four consecutive away games, Vanderbilt will return home to face Auburn, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi State. The team’s final home contests are scheduled for Nov. 6 and Nov. 8 against Texas A&M—the reigning NCAA champion—and Texas.
Vanderbilt’s regular season will conclude with road matches against Arkansas and Oklahoma. The SEC Volleyball Tournament is set to take place once again at Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia from Nov. 20-24 after its return in 2025.
In the upcoming season, Vanderbilt is scheduled to host four out of five SEC teams that earned NCAA Tournament berths in 2025: Florida, Kentucky, Texas, and Texas A&M.
Season tickets for the Commodores’ volleyball games are now available for purchase online.
