CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard men's volleyball has announced its 2026 schedule, featuring 27 matches, including 14 home contests at the Malkin Athletic Center. The Crimson will take on several nationally ranked opponents throughout the season while competing in a challenging EIVA slate.

Harvard opens the 2026 campaign in California with three nonconference matchups at the UC Santa Barbara Invitational. The Crimson will face UC Irvine (Jan. 9), CSUN (Jan. 10), and host UC Santa Barbara (Jan. 11) to begin the year.
The home opener is set for January 16 when Harvard welcomes Manhattan College to Cambridge for the first of two matches that weekend, followed by a rematch on January 17. The Crimson will then host Central State on January 23 before a brief break from action.

Harvard resumes play with its annual Harvard Invitational on February 6–7, welcoming Merrimack and BYU to the MAC. The invitational will serve as Harvard's final tune-up before entering EIVA competition.

Conference play begins the following weekend as Harvard hosts NJIT on February 13–14, before traveling to face Penn State in a two-match road series on February 20–21. The Crimson will continue league play against Charleston (WV) on February 27–28, marking the team's final matches of the month.

March brings a mix of home and away competition, starting with nonconference matchups against American International College (Mar. 6) and St. Thomas Aquinas (Mar. 7) in Cambridge. Harvard will then hit the road to play McKendree on March 17–18, followed by EIVA road action at Sacred Heart (Mar. 27–28).

The Crimson will return home to the MAC for a key EIVA weekend against George Mason (Apr. 3–4) before closing out the regular season with back-to-back road weekends at Princeton (Apr. 17–18) and NJIT (Apr. 24–25).
Postseason play will begin shortly after with the EIVA Tournament (Apr. 29–May 2). Should the Crimson advance, the NCAA Championships will take place May 5–9 at a host site to be announced.
