HACKENSACK, N.J. – FDU women's volleyball released their 2026 schedule on Tuesday afternoon. The upcoming season marks the first season for Amable Martinez as head coach.

The non-conference campaign involves tournament weekends at Seton Hall, Columbia, UConn, and Syracuse. With matches against the host slated for each respective weekend, the Knights will challenge themselves against talent from the ACC, Big East, and Ivy League.

The home schedule begins on September 23 in Hackensack. FDU will host Temple in their lone home game before conference play begins. In addition, the Knights will host Saint Peter's and Binghamton later in the season in a pair of midweek matches at the Bogota Savings Bank Center.

The 2026 NEC league calendar starts on October 2. FDU's first taste of conference play is a home weekend against Mercyhurst. The Lakers qualified for the NEC tournament last season.

FDU will face the defending NEC Champions in Hackensack on October 23 and 24. This kicks off a stretch of six-straight home matches that includes matchups with Chicago State and New Haven.

The Knights conclude the regular season at Le Moyne on November 13 and 14.
