This week's games (Oct 19–25, 2026)
| When (Central) | Match | Where | TV / Stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thu, Oct 22 · 6:00 PM CDT | Nebraska vs. UCLA (volleyball) | Bob Devaney Sports Center, Lincoln | FS1 |
| Sat, Oct 24 · 8:00 PM CDT | Nebraska vs. USC (volleyball) | Bob Devaney Sports Center, Lincoln | Big Ten Network |
| Sat, Oct 24 | No football game this week |
Football has no game on the schedule this week, so the weekend belongs to volleyball. As of Oct 19, Nebraska volleyball is 19-0 (8-0 Big Ten). Both matches are on regular cable and satellite channels (FS1 and BTN), not B1G+, so most sports bars should be able to put them on. Call ahead and ask for the sound.
One third-party schedule site listed Saturday's USC match at 10 PM. The official huskers.com schedule said 8:00 PM CDT when we checked on Oct 19.

Looking ahead: Halloween weekend

Heading to Lincoln for the Washington game? Public campus parking was $15–$25 with lots opening 6 hours before kickoff when we checked UNL's parking page. The Lincoln gameday guide covers parking, tailgating rules and the clear-bag policy.
Know a bar that always has volleyball on?
Subscribers can reply to the email. Anyone can use the List your bar page. We add the Volleyball confirmed tag only when we can point to a source, like the bar's own post, an alumni chapter listing or a news story.
