“Burnt Orange and Husker red in Vegas – the volleyball world will be watching. We are beyond excited to rekindle the biggest rivalry in college volleyball as Texas and Nebraska meet on one of the biggest stages imaginable in Las Vegas. The passion, tradition, energy, and fan support behind both programs make this something truly special for the entire volleyball world. This is going to be an unforgettable atmosphere, and I encourage fans to get their tickets now because this event will sell out fast. Vegas. Texas. Nebraska. Prime time. The biggest rivalry in college volleyball.”

"Playing in the first volleyball Players Era event is an exciting opportunity for our program. Nebraska wants to be at the forefront of new events and opportunities for our players and our sport. Having the opportunity to face our long-standing rival, Texas, is the icing on the cake. Not only will Vegas be an amazing location to start our season, playing UNLV and Texas will set a tone from the beginning. We want to thank MGM Resorts and Players Era for believing in volleyball and Nebraska to make this event possible."

“We’re incredibly excited to host the inaugural Players Era Volleyball Showcase and shine a spotlight on some of the very best talent in collegiate volleyball. Events like this highlight the energy, competition and star power that make Las Vegas a global sports destination, while creating new reasons for fans to visit and experience it all in a way only this city can deliver."

“NCAA women’s volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, with record ratings and surging attendance, and we’re thrilled to have some of the biggest programs in the sport headlining our first-ever volleyball event as we expand beyond college hoops to create more amazing events for players, coaches and fans”
