Texas A&M and Louisville open their 2025 campaigns Friday night inside Fiserv Forum, a season-launching neutral-site clash that gives both rosters an immediate marquee test before conference play looms.
The matchup pairs two programs from different corners of the country's volleyball landscape, each looking to set a tone in Game 1. With both squads starting at 0-0, there's no tape to lean on and no margin to ease into the year — it's a straight-from-the-locker-room sprint.
An NBA arena floor, a Friday night window, and two hungry rosters make this appointment viewing. First serve is set for 6:00 PM EDT on August 21st.
