SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – For the second year in a row, Sun Devil Volleyball will participate in the nationally-televised State Farm Women’s Volleyball Showcase, this time set in Sioux Falls, S.D., at the Sanford Pentagon on August 28-29.
Arizona State will face Minnesota on August 28 and USC on August 29. The matches will be on either FOX or FS1 and start times are yet to be determined. Both Minnesota and USC had strong 2025 seasons, advancing to the 2025 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, as did ASU.
The Sun Devils participated in this tournament last season to begin the 2025 campaign. ASU took down defending national champions Penn State on the national stage for an early season statement win. Noemie Glover was a force in the win, earning a double-double with 22 kills and 10 blocks.
Tickets for the 2026 State Farm Women’s Volleyball Showcase will go on sale June 11, with a presale beginning June 10. Launched in 2024, the State Farm Women’s Volleyball Showcase shines a national spotlight on the start of the college volleyball season through elite competition, premium television exposure and standout non-conference matchups.
ASU will start the season on August 22 against Texas as part of the AVCA First Serve. The next weekend will be the State Farm Showcase.
