CHARLESTON – Friday, the Charleston Southern volleyball program and Head Coach Carry Brown announced the team's 2026 season schedule featuring 27 regular season contests played across four different states. The Bucs have a 13 match non-conference schedule to pair with a 14 match, double round-robin, Big South slate.

When asked about her excitement heading into her fourth year at the helm of the Buccaneer volleyball program, Head Coach Carry Brown said,

"My staff and I are so excited about the upcoming season and the competition we have scheduled. It will be full of opportunities to grow and memorable experiences for our team. We cannot wait to see this group compete, challenge themselves, and continue building together throughout the season."

Before the start of the regular season, the VolleyBucs will host a public intersquad scrimmage at 6:00 P.M. on August 18th at Buccaneer Fieldhouse.

This year's Buc Dome Invitational will begin on September 10th and conclude on September 12th. The three-day event will feature programs from three different states: CSU, Bethune-Cookman, Cal State Fullerton, and The Citadel.

The September 11th matchup against Cal State Fullerton will serve as Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night. The following afternoon's match against Bethune-Cookman will serve as the program's International Day, designed to celebrate the countless cultures and nationalities represented on CSU's campus and throughout the Lowcountry community.

After a 34-day stretch without a home contest, the VolleyBucs' Cancer Awareness Match will take place on October 16th against the High Point Panthers.

The following weekend, October 23rd-24th, the program will celebrate Alumni Weekend against the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs and Winthrop Eagles, respectively.

In November, the team will host Youth Sports/Bingo Night against USC Upstate on Nov. 7th and celebrate Senior Night against Presbyterian College on Nov. 13th — the final regular-season contest of the year.
