The 2025 schedule is set for Nebraska volleyball and the first year of the Dani Busboom Kelly era. Soon after the Big Ten released the conference schedule for the season, the Nebraska Athletic Department released the full schedule, including all non-conference games.
The season will start Aug. 22 against Pitt at Pinnacle Bank Arena at the AVCA First Serve Showcase. Two days later, the Huskers will face Stanford at PBA. Non-conference play is also highlighted by matchups against Kentucky (Aug. 31 in Nashville), home against Cal (Sept. 7), then Utah (Sept. 12), before Nebraska heads up I-80 to face Creighton (Sept. 16). Big Ten play begins Sept. 24 against Michigan, one of three Big Ten teams Nebraska will play home and away. The other two are Michigan State and defending national champion Penn State. The Huskers first face the Nittany Lions in State College, Pa., on Oct. 4, then the teams rematch on the next-to-last day of the regular season, Nov. 28, Black Friday at John Cook Arena, the same day as Nebraska football hosts Iowa.
First-serve times and television plans are to be announced, but all games will be carried on B-107.3, with select games also simulcast on KLIN.
