Texas volleyball fans wanting an early look at the 2026 squad will get their first chance Monday with a free scrimmage against Minnesota at Gregory Gymnasium. The preseason matchup starts at 1 p.m., and doors will open at noon. Free parking is available at the Speedway Garage, 105 E. 27th St.
The Longhorns also will host Rice at 6 p.m. Friday in a second free scrimmage.
Texas welcomes back 11 letterwinners from last year’s squad, including outside hitters Torrey Stafford and Cari Spears, both of whom are on the AVCA player of the year preseason watch list and have earned preseason All-SEC honors. Texas went 26-4 last season and reached the NCAA Tournament regional finals before falling to Wisconsin.
