Summary
No. 1 Nebraska will face No. 17 Florida at 7 p.m. Thursday in Arlington to launch the inaugural Spikes Under the Lights, a three-match event that could also pit the Huskers against No. 10 Penn State or No. 11 SMU.
All 3 matches fit a three-hour TNT Sports window, using a best-of-three format with the first two sets to 21 points and a deciding third set to 15.
Nebraska enters after a 33-1 2025 season, a third straight Big Ten title and a preseason No. 1 ranking backed by 57 first-place votes and 124 all-time weeks atop the AVCA poll.
The exhibition starts a road-heavy opening stretch in pro venues before Nebraska’s home debut, with regular-season matches against UNLV and No. 2 Texas in Las Vegas next.
