It's impossible to get into the holiday spirit without some college volleyball. The 2025 NCAA tournament will bring all the drama, upsets and triumphs starting this week.
The bracket is set, and there's no stage bigger than this one: 64 programs enter this tournament with their eyes set on a title, but only four will get the golden ticket to Kansas City, and only one will hoist the coveted trophy.
Nebraska, Texas, Pittsburgh and Kentucky secured the No. 1 seeds this year, sparking a heated debate about who could go all the way. The Huskers are the only undefeated program, but have historically struggled in the Final Four. Could Pitt finally overcome the hump and win their first title, or will a dark horse emerge?
You never know what might happen in the Big Dance.
Here's how to watch every college volleyball match on today, including TV channel and streaming options for the tournament's first round.
