Razorback Volleyball Unveils 2026 Schedule

June 12, 2026 - 02:00

The Arkansas Razorback volleyball team has officially released its full schedule for the 2026 season, with action set to begin in late August. The Volley Hogs will face a challenging mix of non-conference opponents before diving into the always-tough Southeastern Conference slate.

Head coach Jason Watson and his staff have put together a balanced schedule that includes several early-season tournaments. The team will open at home, hosting a multi-team event in Fayetteville before heading on the road for a pair of neutral-site tournaments. Those early matches are designed to test the squad against different styles of play and build momentum before conference play begins.

The SEC portion of the schedule features the usual home-and-home series against divisional rivals, plus single matches against teams from the other side of the league. Arkansas will look to improve on its recent performances in the conference, where competition remains fierce with programs like Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee consistently ranked nationally.

Key home matchups include a showdown with Texas, which joined the SEC in 2024, as well as traditional rival Missouri. The Razorbacks will also host LSU and Alabama in Barnhill Arena, where the team has historically enjoyed strong fan support.

The regular season wraps up in late November, with the SEC Tournament following shortly after. The NCAA Tournament selection show will then determine the postseason path for the Hogs. With a mix of experienced returners and promising newcomers, the 2026 squad aims to make a deep run.
