The University of Wisconsin volleyball team will make 18 appearances on national television this season including being aired nationally on NBC for the first time ever.
Twelve Badger regular season matches will be featured on the Big Ten Network this season, while two will be on NBC, two on FOX, and one each on ESPN2 and FS1.
“To have 18 Badger matches televised nationally is extremely exciting,” said Badger head coach Kelly Sheffield in a statement. “Last season we were a part of the first college volleyball match on FOX. To follow that up with two more on the network is fantastic. This year NBC will be hosting their first college matches and to be on their network a couple of times is an absolute game-changer.
“Also, to have a match on FS1 and ESPN2 just broadens the reach and are excited to be on their networks – and once again to have BTN leading the way in our sport and having 12 of our matches on their network is awesome. Last year saw record numbers watching our sport in person and on television. I totally expect us to blow those numbers out of the water this upcoming season.”
The Badgers will host the Marquette Golden Eagles on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Kohl Center, the first time back at that large venue in the heart of campus since UW hosted Florida in 2022 and set an NCAA indoor attendance record of 16,833.
