The Wisconsin Badgers volleyball team has announced a highly anticipated rematch against the Texas Longhorns on September 13, 2026, at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. This match follows Wisconsin's four-set victory over Texas that propelled them to the 2025 Final Four, marking their fifth appearance in seven years. The Moody Center, which typically hosts men's and women's basketball, offers a much larger venue than the Gregory Gymnasium, which has a capacity of 4,000. In addition to the Texas match, Wisconsin's 2026 nonconference schedule features games against Kentucky on August 21, Louisville on August 22, Florida on September 2, and Auburn on September 3. The matches against Kentucky and Louisville are part of the AVCA First Serve event at Fiserv Forum, while the games against Florida and Auburn are included in the inaugural Big Ten/SEC Challenge at the UW Field House. Texas, under the leadership of coach Jerritt Elliott, finished the previous season with a record of 26-4 and has maintained a strong performance over the years, winning at least 20 matches in all but two of his 25 seasons.
