TicketsCINCINNATI — The University of Cincinnati volleyball program released its 2026 Big 12 schedule on Thursday.
Cincinnati will play 18 Big 12 matches over 10 weeks, while playing 10 teams once and four teams twice. The Bearcats will face UCF, West Virginia, Kansas State and Iowa State in their home-and-away matchups.
“We are excited about the upcoming season and the opportunity to compete in one of the most competitive conferences in the country,” said head coach Danijela Tomić. “What drives us is building on what we started last year—we came close to playing in the NCAA Tournament, and that experience has fueled our commitment to take the next step. We’re ready to embrace the challenge and continue our journey of building a championship culture and program."
UC will host TCU, Arizona State, Iowa State, Kansas State, Arizona, West Virginia, UCF, Texas Tech and Baylor inside Fifth Third Arena. The road slate features trips to Houston, UCF, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State, Utah and BYU.
All dates are subject to change. The non-conference schedule and match times will be announced at a later date.
