Opening Weekend is heading for Loughborough!

Super League Opening Weekend returns for a third year on 18th and 19th October, and this season's exciting curtain-raiser will be staged at Loughborough University - Volleyball England's new home for indoor volleyball.

With the MAAREE Women's and DYNAMIK Men's Super Leagues slimmed down from 10 to eight teams each for the 2025-26 season, four matches on each day will get the campaign off to a flying start.

The men's matches will be staged on Saturday while the women will take centre stage on Sunday in a high-octane, pulsating feast of volleyball.

Check out the fixtures for the weekend - and ticket details - below.
