UF VB | SEC Announces Florida’s Spring Volleyball Schedule

The Gators will compete in 16 matches against eight SEC opponents during the spring portion of the schedule; NCAA Championships slated for mid-to-late April

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida’s spring volleyball schedule has been set by the Southeastern Conference, as the league announced on Monday.

The spring season will serve as a continuation to the 2020 fall season and will be played in the following format: 16 matches against eight opponents. Those matches will be played as double-header series, consisting of four home weekends and four away weekends.

Television information and start times will be announced at a later date.

The Gators will face off against the eight opponents that they did not compete against in the fall: Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

Florida is slated to make its spring debut on Jan. 29/30 when the squad heads to Ole Miss for a series with the Rebels.

The Gators return to Exactech Arena on Feb. 6/7 to face Missouri – who finished the fall ranked eighth in the AVCA poll – then follow that up with a mid-week home series with LSU on Feb. 10/11.

UF then hits the road for back-to-back weeks on Feb. 19/20 and Feb. 25/26, taking on Mississippi State and Tennessee, respectively.

Florida comes home to Gainesville to take on Arkansas on March 5/6 before its scheduled bye week. Coming off the break, the Gators face the Kentucky Wildcats – who finished the fall second in the AVCA poll – in Exactech Arena on March 19/20.

The Gators close out their regular-season slate with a matchup at Texas A&M on March 24/25. The following week will be utilized as a makeup week for any matches canceled due to COVID-19.

The NCAA Tournament Selection Show is schedule for Sunday, April 4.
