TEMPE – The 2024 Sun Devil Volleyball schedule has been announced, including the first Big 12 slate for Arizona State. ASU will have 12 home matches throughout the season and conference play will begin on September 25 at TCU.
“We are really excited about our 2024 schedule,” second-year head coach JJ Van Niel said. “Our non-conference slate is challenging, and we feel it will prepare us well for our inaugural Big 12 season. The Big 12 race should be an exciting one, and we can’t wait for the Sun Devil community to experience it with us!”
The inaugural Big 12 season for ASU includes nine home matches in conference, 12 total with a tournament at home to wrap up non-conference play. The Sun Devils will face each big 12 team in 2024 at least once. On the schedule, there are eight teams that made the 2023 NCAA Tournament, six of which are in the Big 12. The two non-conference tournament teams are UC Santa Barbara and national runner-up Nebraska.
