CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference released its volleyball schedule for the 2025 season. This is the second integration of the new conference schedule format, which incorporates protected opponents based on geographic location and rivalries. Each team play will play 18 total matches, nine at home and nine on the road.

The 2025 conference schedule will begin on Thursday, Sept. 25 with a full six-game schedule: Miami at Akron, Ball State at Buffalo, Ohio at Bowling Green, Central Michigan at Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan at Western Michigan, and Kent State at Toledo.

The volleyball regular season will conclude on Saturday, Nov. 15, with the top six teams in the conference moving on to the postseason for the MAC Volleyball Tournament. This year’s championship format will be different from previous seasons, with the previous season’s regular season champion serving as host to the MAC’s top six teams. Bowling Green claimed the 2024 title and will be the host for the 2025 MAC Volleyball Championship on Nov. 21-23 at the Stroh Center.
