Nebraska volleyball is competing in another major event to start the 2026 season. The Huskers traveled to Arlington, Texas, to play in the inaugural Spikes Under the Lights at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Huskers defeated the Florida Gators in straight sets (21-19, 21-18) to advance to the Spikes Under the Lights title game. Nebraska now faces SMU, who swept Penn State (24-22, 21-18) in its semi-final match.
Each of the two opening matches will be best-of-three sets. The championship match is set for 10 p.m. CT on TNT. The Huskers enter the season ranked No. 1 in the preseason AVCA Coaches Poll.
Nebraska finished last season 33-1, falling to Texas A&M in the regional finals. The Huskers enter year two of the Dani Busboom Kelly
era. The Huskers won their third straight Big Ten title in 2025 with a 20-0 record in conference play.
Nebraska’s offense (.351) and defense (.129) both ranked first nationally last season. The Huskers’ hitting percentage broke the previous school record of .331 in 1986.
