About

League One Volleyball (LOVB) is a professional women's volleyball league in the US. Its pro league began in January 2025, and LOVB Austin has won both of its championships.

The 2026-27 season is the league's third, and it grows from six clubs to ten. The six founding clubs are LOVB Atlanta, LOVB Austin, LOVB Houston, LOVB Madison, LOVB Nebraska and LOVB Salt Lake. New this season are the Los Angeles Orbit, LOVB Miami, LOVB Minnesota and the San Francisco Signal.

The clubs now play in two conferences. The Eastern Conference is LOVB Atlanta, LOVB Madison, LOVB Miami, LOVB Minnesota and LOVB Nebraska. The Western Conference is LOVB Austin, LOVB Houston, the Los Angeles Orbit, LOVB Salt Lake and the San Francisco Signal.

Format

The 2026-27 regular season runs from December 16 to April 11: 110 matches, 22 for each club, 11 at home and 11 away. Each club plays its four conference rivals three times and the five clubs in the other conference twice.

Every match is best of five sets. The first four sets go to 25 and a fifth set to 15, and a set must be won by two points.

The season opens with First Serve on December 16 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, where LOVB Austin plays LOVB Nebraska during the week of the NCAA volleyball championship.
