Major League Volleyball announced an exciting new chapter for the league, unveiling a 26-match regular-season schedule and a two conference alignment beginning with the 2027 season.
The changes coincide with the league's expansion to 12 teams, showcasing balanced scheduling, creating stronger regional rivalries and an enhanced competitive structure.
With the league growing to 12 teams, MLV will be grouped into Eastern and Western Conferences. Atlanta, Columbus, DC, Grand Rapids, Indy and Orlando will make up the Eastern Conference. The Western Conference will showcase Dallas, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Northern California, Omaha and Vegas.
“Adding four teams and shifting to a conference structure changes everything for us,” said Major League Volleyball Commissioner Jaime Weston. “Expanding into these incredible sports markets allows us to create genuine rivalries, energize an exciting postseason race and provide fans with the best volleyball in the country. Our players thrive on high-stakes competition, and this 26-match format delivers the world-class stage both our athletes and supporters deserve.”
Each team will play the 11 other league opponents, once at home and once on the road, for 22 matches. The remaining four matches will be scheduled against teams in the same conference, with each squad missing one of the other five on an annual rotating basis.
Atlanta Vibe 2027 season ticket packages are now available to catch all of the exciting MLV competition at Gas South Arena and Georgia State Convocation Center.
