The Big Ten and SEC will have a large-scale volleyball competition later this year, and Wrigley Field will play a prominent role.
According to the conferences, the Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge Week will culminate with a pair of matches at the venerable stadium, marking the first time the Friendly Confines have ever hosted volleyball matches.
“Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge Week culminating at Wrigley Field brings together the highest level of women’s volleyball competition, at one of the most iconic venues in the country,” said Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti. “As women’s volleyball participation, sponsorship, attendance and viewership continue to grow, we look forward to providing this unique opportunity to showcase the exceptional competition.”
According to the press release, Nebraska and Missouri will face off at the stadium, with Penn State and Kentucky battling in the other matchup.
Officials say all 18 Big Ten schools and all 16 SEC schools will play games against one another in the first week of September.
The two Wrigley Field matches will take place on Sunday, Sept. 6, with both games broadcast on Fox. Tickets will be available beginning next week on the Cubs’ website.
The games will feature four teams that have featured prominently in the upswing in popularity of women’s volleyball. Kentucky was the national runner-up in the 2025 season, while Penn State won the national championship in 2024.
Nebraska also made the final match in 2021 and 2023. The Cornhuskers also hosted the most-attended DI women’s college volleyball match of all time, when 92,003 fans flocked to Memorial Stadium in Lincoln for a game against Omaha.
