KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Volleyball and Head Coach Christi Posey have officially announced the full 2026 schedule, bringing high-level volleyball right to the Swinney Center throughout the entire fall season. The Roos will host 13 games out of their 26-game schedule, including a pair of non-conference invitationals and seven Summit League contests.Â
Season tickets are available now for all Roos fans to catch the action this upcoming year with packages starting at just $50. Single game tickets will be made available for purchase on July 13.
Kansas City opens the year with a tune-up at nearby Wichita State, playing in an exhibition contest on Aug. 22 before traveling to Clarksville, Tenn. for the first action of the regular season. The Roos will begin with a game against Jackson State in the Stacheville Challenge, also taking on UT Martin and Austin Peay that weekend.
The second weekend of the regular season will take the Roos to the Miami/Best Western Invitational, where they will play matches against Purdue Fort Wayne, Miami (OH) and Evansville.Â
The final two weekends of non-conference play will be hosted inside of the Swinney Center, beginning with the Kansas City Klassic on Sep. 11 and 12. Drake, Radford and Utah Valley will come to town, each bringing high expectations into the 2026 season. Utah Valley enters as reigning WAC champions, qualifying to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in program history. Drake advanced to the Missouri Valley title game last year, while Radford pulled a first round upset to advance to the Big South semifinals.
KC closes out non-conference play from Sep. 17-19, hosting the second iteration of the Battle for Missouri. Some of the area's top teams - Saint Louis, SEMO and Missouri State - will arrive at the Swinney Center in search of bragging rights as the Show-Me State's most formidable mid-major program. The Roos will open things up against the Bears on the evening of Sep. 17 before an action-packed Friday featuring three matches, including a marquee meeting between KC and Saint Louis. The Battle will end on Saturday afternoon, starting with a match between the Roos and Redhawks before closing with a game between Missouri State and Saint Louis.
Summit League play will begin on Sep. 26 and the Roos will host three-straight games, beginning with a match against Oral Roberts before hosting North Dakota and North Dakota State on Oct. 1 and 3.
Kansas City hits the road on Oct. 8 and 10, taking on reigning Summit League Regular Season Champion South Dakota State and then heading to South Dakota.
The 2025 Summit League Tournament Champions, St. Thomas, come to town on Oct. 15 and the first round of league play closes with a home match against Omaha on Oct. 17.
The Roos will play all seven Summit League opponents once again in the second round of league play, highlighted by home matches against South Dakota on Nov. 5 and South Dakota State on Nov. 7.
