LONGVIEW, Texas -- The 2026 volleyball season is nearing and LeTourneau recently unveiled its 25-match schedule.

The predetermined site will feature six teams with quarterfinal and semifinal matches on Nov. 13 before the championship on Nov. 14.

LeTourneau opens the regular season with a trip to Belton on Sept. 4-5. The YellowJackets face host Mary Hardin-Baylor on Sept. 4 before taking on Alverno and Carroll on Sept. 5. It will be the second straight year LeTourneau has gone to Belton for a weekend tournament.

The home opener is set for Sept. 9 with Mary Hardin-Baylor coming to Solheim Arena (6 p.m.). That match is one of six in Longview for the YellowJackets on the year.
