Penn State men’s volleyball released its 2026 schedule on Monday, featuring 19 opponents.

The Nittany Lions will kick off the season with a home game against Mount Olive in Happy Valley’s Rec Hall. They will play 14 home matches this season, and Hawaii will be hosted at Rec Hall for the first time since 2002.

With a couple more home games mixed throughout January, the Nittany Lions will travel to Princeton for a Valentine’s Day game and then head back home for a game against Harvard. March will bring a West Coast road trip to play Long Beach State, Pepperdine, and USC. The Nittany Lions will travel closer to home, playing Ohio State in Pittsburgh. Following this, the Nittany Lions will travel to Charleston and Sacred Heart, before they finally return home to play George Mason on Penn State’s very own senior night. At the end of April, Penn State will transition into the postseason, with the EIVA Tournament occurring April 22-25.

The Nittany Lions went 15-16 overall in the 2025 season and won the EIVA Tournament for the third straight year. They automatically headed to the NCAA Tournament before they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
