The University of Minnesota Duluth volleyball team announced its 2026 schedule, which will feature the program competing in the Up North Tournament and Colorado State Pueblo Tournament prior to competition in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC).

The first four non-conference matchups will be in the Up North Tournament hosted by Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich., beginning Aug. 27. The Bulldogs battled in the Up North Tournament as the hosting university this past season, earning three straight victories with two three-set sweeps.

The Bulldogs' next tournament will begin on Sept. 4 at the Colorado State Pueblo Tournament in Pueblo, Colo., where UMD will face four more opponents. 

UMD then begins regular season NSIC competition with the first game set for Sept. 11 on the road in Bismarck, ND, against the University of Mary. The Bulldogs will get their rematch with Concordia University St. Paul on Oct. 2 in St. Paul, Minn., which knocked the team out of the NSIC Tournament last season.

The Bulldogs battle the reigning NSIC Tournament champions, St. Cloud State University, inside Romano Gymnasium on Oct. 10.

Bulldog volleyball closed out the 2025 season with an 18-10 overall record with an 11-9 record in NSIC competition, with the season coming to a close in the NSIC Tournament Quarterfinals.
