SAN DIEGO — San Diego volleyball closed its summer with a gold medal in Lima. The next time the Toreros play in front of a home crowd it will be at Jenny Craig Pavilion, and single-match tickets for all 13 of those dates are on sale now.
The home slate opens the first weekend of September with the Jack Talmadge Volleyball Classic. SMU visits Alcala Park on Friday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m., and USC follows on Sunday, Sept. 6 at 2 p.m. Two more nonconference dates close out the month's first half: Arizona on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. and crosstown rival San Diego State on Saturday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Three of the six power-conference opponents on USD's 2026 schedule play inside the JCP.
West Coast Conference play begins at home on Thursday, Sept. 24 against Saint Mary's, the first of nine league dates in San Diego. The home conference calendar keeps a steady rhythm — Thursday nights at 7 p.m., Saturday afternoons at noon — and runs through Pacific (Sept. 26), Denver (Oct. 3), LMU (Oct. 8), Pepperdine (Oct. 10), San Francisco (Oct. 29) and Santa Clara (Oct. 31) before the final home weekend of the regular season, with Portland on Thursday, Nov. 19 and Seattle U on Saturday, Nov. 21.
The Toreros return a program in the middle of its best stretch in years. San Diego went 25-5 in 2025 and swept through the WCC at 18-0, claiming its 13th conference championship and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. This summer, representing Team USA at the FISU America Games in Peru, USD swept Chile in the gold medal match and sent setter Kylie Munday home as tournament MVP.
Youth 12 and under are admitted free to USD home events, with no advance reservation required.
