When the Nebraska Huskers showed the world the popularity of volleyball after filling Memorial Stadium (Lincoln) with 92,003 fans, women’s pro volleyball did not exist. It’s difficult to fathom that a little over a year since that record-breaking turnout on August 30, 2023, there are not one, but two pro leagues. However, this only seems to be the beginning.

If you find that news surprising, you’re not alone, as the announcement of the third U.S. pro league has left fans scratching their heads.
“Major League Volleyball (MLV) will start a new professional league starting in 2026,” presenter Emily Ehman wrote in her post on X.
