TALLAHASSEE – Head coach Brooke Niles and the Florida State beach volleyball team announced their schedule for the 2026 season Monday.
The spring season will start February 20 on the Seminoles home court, with the Seminoles' two other home matches taking place February 27-28 and April 2-4.
Following FSU's conference realignment in September, the Noles will now compete in the Big 12 Conference Championship in April. The NCAA Tournament comes shortly after, from May 1-3 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Niles is entering her 11th season at Florida State, following a 26-13 run in 2025 that included an appearance in the CCSA Conference finals and the NCAA Quarterfinals. In 2024, Niles became the all-time winningest coach in the NCAA and she is still on the hunt for the program's first National Championship title.
With significant roster changes, including the addition of five freshmen and three transfers, the Seminoles look to add more accolades to the team's extensive resume. The upcoming season includes matchups against defending national champion TCU, alongside other new Big 12 rivals.
