The Big Ten released its 2025 volleyball schedule Wednesday for all 18 conference teams, including Nebraska. The highlight of the Huskers’ schedule comes on Nov. 28, Black Friday, as Nebraska hosts defending national champion Penn State at John Cook Arena the same day Nebraska football will host Iowa at Memorial Stadium.
The Nittany Lions are one of three Big Ten teams the Huskers will play both home and away, joining Michigan and Michigan State. Nebraska opens Big Ten play at home against the Wolverines on Sept. 24. After hosting Maryland on Sept. 27, the Huskers will travel to State College, Pa., to take on Penn State on Oct. 3. Other highlights from October include road matches at Purdue (Oct. 12) and Wisconsin (Oct. 31), in Nebraska’s only two matchups against those traditional volleyball powers.
The Huskers are slated to open the season in the AVCA Showcase on Aug. 22 and 23 at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln to begin the Dani Busboom Kelly era.
