PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men's volleyball team announced its 2026 schedule on Tuesday, as the Tigers return to Dillon Gym to defend their EIVA Regular Season Championship and seek even greater heights.
Last season, Princeton won the EIVA regular season, going 15-11 overall and 10-2 in conference play. Making the EIVA Championship match as they hosted the tournament, the Tigers dropped a close contest to Penn State. They ended the season ranked 20th in the final AVCA poll.
Princeton will kick off the season on January 3rd, as the team heads to Canada to play Toronto Metropolitan and McMaster, with a homecoming for senior Owen Mellon. The McMaster match will be played at Appleby College.
The Tigers will then head to California for a series of road matchups with top-ranked programs, first facing #5 UC Irvine on Jan. 14 before taking on #6 USC on Jan. 16. They'll stay in CA to face Concordia on the 20th before heading back East.
Opening the action in Dillon Gym, the Tigers will host Merrimack for their home opener on Jan. 30, facing St. Thomas Aquinas the next day.
To begin EIVA play, the Tigers will head up the turnpike to face NJIT on Feb. 6.
Looking for a rematch of last year's EIVA Championship, Princeton will host Penn State for a two-game series on February 13th and 14th in Dillon Gym.
To close out February, the Tigers will take a trip up to Teaneck to face FDU on the 20th and host Dominican on the 28th.
Princeton will head back out to the West Coast to close out non-conference play, taking on #10 UC San Diego for a Monday matchup on March 9 and #9 CSUN in a midweek that Wednesday.
With non-conference play completed, Princeton will hit the rest of the EIVA schedule at full-force, closing out the series with NJIT at home in Dillon on March 21.
The Tigers will host Charleston on March 27th and 28th, and Sacred Heart on April 3rd and 4th, as they conclude the regular season play on their home court.
A series in Virginia at George Mason (April 10-11) and a series in Boston at Harvard (April 17-18) will end the regular season.
The EIVA Tournament will be held on April 22nd through 25th, with the top EIVA seed playing host.
The NCAA Tournament will be held in May, with regionals set for the first and second of the month and the national semifinals and final on May 9th and 11th.
