USA - LOVB 2025 (League One Volleyball 2025)

  • I read the first game is on January 8th and on ESPN+ for me. I haven’t read about the start date for the next year. I was wondering would it be a full season that starts at the beginning of October or like this year a half season after the NCAA tournament?

    I dont think its likely that any american league runs alongside the NCAA.


    from a TV perspective, it would be a disaster (Not to mention the interest level)

  • LOVB Classic (their "cup" tournament)

    Top two teams get a bye/advance to semifinals.

    Quarterfinals between 3-6, 4-5..

    Semifinals between 1, 2 and the QF winners

    finals day has a final/3rd/5th place match


    LOVB Finals

    Top two teams get a bye/advance to semifinals

    Quarterfinals between 3-6, 4-5..

    Semifinals between 1, 2 and the QF winners

    Final to determine the winner.


    both are single elimination. all teams will qualify for both events.

  • if you dont want to be bothered by how messy the press release was,


    LOVB said its been implemented on their website (lovb.com/schedule) that it will automatically tell you where to stream games dependent on your location.


    If you're in a country that doesnt have a tv deal with LOVB, the games will just be streamed on their website (LOVB Live)

    When I open any game on their website I have this message: Get ready to stream LOVB matches live for free by creating a LOVB Insider account. Sign up today so you don't miss a minute of the action.


    So they indeed are going to stream it for free

  • first match is tomorrow night (well for me now it is lol) dont ask me to convert time zones.


    we wont have a volleystation page, which is lame, but full league stats will be here: https://www.lovb.com/league-statistics



    Looks like we're going to have some fun "advanced" stats available: https://www.lovb.com/news/lovb…tistical-analysis-to-fans


    including good block touch %, offensive efficiency in transition, # of attacks created from digs, # of attacks converted from digs, etc


    it seems like match stats will only be available in the "Game center" thing from the schedule page: https://lovb.com/schedule

    literally would love to see a combined number of touches by player in a game.


    yes we know that setters touch the ball, but combine passing, blocking, serving (aces and errors only) and spiking. Who really are the all around players, and how successful are they.


    middles basically need to be a point for every touch of the ball for them.

    You could probably calculate that (via like excel) or something if you'd really want to know.


    in american volleyball, the leaders will probably always be the outside hitters. (if we're not including setters)

    the are like some of the simplest things to do in the sport and we can’t seem to do the math.


    in theory each play (possession) has 3 touches, but most players only touch the ball once on a possession. Serving and blocking are the ones with single touches. Blocking where the ball staying in play, would say a 1/3 possession.

    We can literally count how many possessions, which player does what. And this sport as a whole can’t seem to do that.


    I am not saying this as a stat geek, but to help us understand great players by position. We all love eye tests, but let’s show in numbers.


    Foluke was just insane with her athleticism and a huge reason for the success of the USA women’s team. But what about KYK for South Korea, etc.


    Steps off soap box now.

  • For me LOVB site works well for streaming (except the camera is moving all around with very strange angles). They said match sold out, but I see a lot of seats free.
    Also I don't understand why no feed for live betting, I priced them alone in the market but no turnover at all, looks like no one interested in the league.
