League One Volleyball playoffs schedule: Times, TV channels, live streams to watch 2026 LOVB postseason matches

After a thrilling and intense regular season, League One Volleyball is getting ready to crown a champion in the 2026 playoffs.

Unlike LOVB's inaugural season, only four franchises are traveling to Louisville this weekend for the highly anticipated playoffs — No. 1 Houston, No. 2 Atlanta, No. 3 Austin and No. 4 Salt Lake.

The four teams will participate in a three-day semifinal format. This year's champions will be decided by a two-part matchup. Should each game yield a different result, the teams will move to a golden set to decide who takes the trophy. 

Last year at this time, Austin claimed the first-ever LOVB title over Nebraska 3-0.
