ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Indiana volleyball team will make five confirmed appearances on linear television this fall, as announced by the conference office on Monday (July 28) morning. The Big Ten has set the national standard in promoting the growth of women's volleyball and will carry 79 matches on its networks this year.
This is the third-straight season that the Hoosiers will appear on the Big Ten Network or its partner channels at least four times in the same year. IU played eight nationally-televised contests in 2024, including a commanding sweep of Northwestern at Wilkinson Hall.
IU will be part of an opening night doubleheader to begin the Big Ten campaign on Wednesday, September 24th. The Hoosiers will head to Evanston to play Northwestern (9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT) following the conclusion of Michigan and Nebraska (7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT).
Volleyball will take center stage in the state's capital on Thursday, October 16th when IU and Purdue meet at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to play for the Monon Spike. It is believed to be one of the first volleyball matches played inside the basketball arena and will command a national audience (7 p.m. ET) on the Big Ten Network.
Additional network matches for the Hoosiers include home contests with Ohio State (Oct. 19, Noon ET) and Minnesota (Oct. 24, 8 p.m. ET) at the end of October. IU will play the defending national champions, Penn State, in Happy Valley (Nov. 2, 4 p.m. ET) to begin the final month of the regular season.
The start times for IU's remaining home matches on B1G+ will be determined at the beginning of August.
