The Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF), the largest professional women’s volleyball league in the United States, and the Omaha Supernovas, Nebraska’s leading professional indoor volleyball team, announced today that following the 2025 season the Supernovas will conclude their participation in the PVF. There are no changes to the team’s 2025 season schedule, ticketing, or fan experience. 

Additionally, MLV Holdings announced today the launch of Major League Volleyball (MLV), a women’s professional volleyball league supported by over $100 million in committed funding. Launching in January 2026, MLV will feature 10 teams including the Supernovas. MLV will launch with teams in Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Kansas, Ohio and Washington.

“Our sport deserves the best of the best,” said MLV Founding Partner Kerri Walsh Jennings in the MLV press statement. “Our women are kick-ass individuals and athletes, and it is long overdue for there to be a product that resembles the biggest and brightest sports, media and entertainment platforms on the planet. This is the league I would have wished to play in, and the Supernovas are a standard for a pro team that I would have wanted to play for. Stay tuned!”

The Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) will enter its third season in 2026 featuring teams including the Atlanta Vibe, Columbus Fury, Grand Rapids Rise, Indy Ignite, Orlando Valkyries, San Diego Mojo, and Vegas Thrill and media partners including CBS Sports, Fox Sports and Roku. The PVF will continue its unprecedented growth trajectory while remaining dedicated to elite competition and world-class assessable athletes delivering on an unparalleled experience for fans. 

Currently the Supernovas are 2-0, and will play Las Vegas and San Diego this week.

As of 11:30AM, no other teams from the Pro Volleyball Federation have announced their departure.

The Supernovas issued this statement to social media this morning.
