Omaha, NE. – League One Volleyball – the largest brand in youth volleyball with its professional league gearing up for the start of its second volleyball season – today formally announced the match schedule for its 2026 Pro season. LOVB Nebraska, formerly LOVB Omaha, is set to play 10 home matches amidst a longer, 20-match regular season.
New this year, LOVB Nebraska will have an established home venue throughout the season. Baxter Arena, home of UNO Mavericks hockey, men’s and women’s basketball, and volleyball, will play host for 9 of the team’s 10 home matches this season. The lone home match away from Baxter Arena will bring regular season professional volleyball outside of Omaha for the very first time in the state’s history, as the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island, Nebraska, will host League One Volleyball.
