The second season of League One Volleyball (LOVB) commences January 7, 2026, presenting a new professional pathway for American college volleyball stars. Previously, many elite players sought opportunities abroad, but LOVB's growth now allows them to continue their careers domestically.

LOVB is also expanding its footprint, with plans to add three new teams in 2027, including franchises in Los Angeles, Minnesota, and San Francisco, further solidifying professional volleyball's presence in the United States.
