2026 slate features 11 matches at the Al McGuire Center.
"Last year we had a top-15 strength of schedule, and great players come to Marquette because they can play at the highest level of Division I volleyball while getting a more personalized college experience than a massive state school can offer. We are excited to release our 2026 schedule, as it achieves all three goals we look for: to play at the highest level of Division I volleyball, to provide a path to achieve our season goals, and to bring high-level volleyball matches to Milwaukee both this fall and in future home guarantees" Mendoza said of the upcoming season slate.
