GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida volleyball unveiled its full 2026 schedule on Tuesday, highlighted by 12 matches in the Stephen C. O’Connell Center and eight opponents featured in the final 2025 AVCA/TARAFLEX Top 25 Poll.
The Gators’ nonconference slate features five matches at home, including the regular-season opener against Stony Brook on Aug. 30 before the team heads north for the second time in as many years for the Big Ten-SEC Challenge against Minnesota and Wisconsin on Sept. 1 and Sept. 2, both hosted by Wisconsin.
From there, the Orange & Blue travel to Texas to face Baylor on Sept. 5 and North Texas on Sept. 6 prior to returning home for the ACC-SEC Challenge against in-state rival Miami on Sept. 9. The Gators will complete their homestand with Florida Atlantic on Sept. 11 and Troy on Sept. 13 before hitting the road once more to match up with Florida State in Tallahassee on Sept. 18.
