PITTSBURGH, Pa. (April 30, 2025) – Intersport and FOX Sports have announced scheduling plans for the second annual State Farm Women’s College Volleyball Showcase, set to once again take place over Labor Day weekend with national broadcast coverage by FOX and FS1.

Defending national champion Penn State, Pitt, TCU and Arizona State will converge at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa., for the four-match event that helps kick off the 2025 college volleyball campaign on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. Match times and television designations will be announced at a later date, but confirmed matchups include:

• Arizona State vs. Pitt

All four programs advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season, with Penn State staking its claim as the nation’s top team after winning its eighth national championship – and first since 2014 – in program history. Pitt made its fourth-straight Final Four appearance last year, while both Arizona State and TCU earned their way into the second round of the NCAA Tournament. All-time, the programs have combined for 89 NCAA Tournament appearances.

In 2024 alone, the quartet of teams combined to win 120 matches. Penn State, winners of the Big Ten Conference title, won 35 matches, ACC Champion Pitt won 33 matches and Arizona State posted 30 wins, second-most in program history, and claimed its first conference championship in program history. In addition, TCU recorded 22 victories to record its fourth-most victories in a single season in program history. The Nittany Lions ended the season ranked No. 1 in the final AVCA poll, followed by No. 3 Pitt, No. 13 Arizona State and No. 25 TCU.

Launched in 2024 with a similar group of elite programs – Minnesota, Stanford, Texas and Wisconsin – the State Farm Women’s College Volleyball Showcase will once again shine a spotlight on the new college volleyball season with must-see nationally televised contests. Additionally, more than 22,000 fans attended the two-day event last season, which was held at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis.

PPG Paints Arena served as the host site for the 2019 NCAA Championship, which was won by Stanford in a three-set sweep over Wisconsin. More than 30,000 fans attended the championship weekend events.
