2026 NCVF Volleyball Championships
April 2-4, 2026 KANSAS CITY, MO
Kansas city convention center, Hy-vee arena
TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
Team Check In: Wednesday, April 1st, 4:00-8:00pm (CST) at Convention Center.
Tournament Schedule: Schedule will be posted on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 1st. NCVF would love to post the schedule earlier, but many leagues and clubs are wrapping up their tournaments and championships the prior weekend, and a few days are required to allow them to submit results and the seeding committees to review those results and finalize seeding.
Tournament Facilities: In an effort to accommodate the tremendous growth of collegiate club volleyball and interest in the NCVF Championships, multiple facilities will be used for the 2026 event. 73 courts will be at the Kansas City Convention Center (utilizing Bartle Hall, Municipal Arena, and LEX Hall), and 12 courts will be at Hy-Vee Arena around 1.5 miles away. Shuttle busses will run from downtown to Hy-Vee during all hours the facility is in use.
Streaming: To allow everyone to join in the excitement, streaming of ALL COURTS will be provided by BallerTV with a one time event pass purchase. If your teams are already providing you with a free stream via social media, they will still be able to do so.
Select Match Broadcasts: The NCVF will be streaming select matches and content throughout the week on the NCVF YouTube channel, including Women’s and Men’s D-II and D-I championship matches on Saturday. Additional content can be found on the NCVF Instagram.
Photography: Professional photographer Alan Poizner has photographed everything from concerts to disaster scenes, Presidential arrivals to professional sports teams, and EVERY collegiate club championship since 2005. This year he can take action shots of you and your team! Click here to see past years’ photos!
