Kentucky Earns No. 2 Overall Seed, Begins NCAA Tournament Thursday

UK Athletics
Wildcats will play first round match Thursday at 7 p.m. ET in Historic Memorial Coliseum
LEXINGTON, Ky. – November 30, 2025

The Kentucky Volleyball team qualified for its 21st-straight NCAA Tournament on Sunday night, as it earned the No. 2 overall seed in the 2025 NCAA Volleyball Championship and will be the No. 1 seed in the Lexington Regional, the NCAA announced Sunday during its NCAA Volleyball Selection Show. 

Kentucky, who is 25-2 overall on the season and a perfect 15-0 record in the Southeastern Conference, earned the SEC’s automatic qualifying spot this season by virtue of its SEC Tournament Championship last weekend in Savannah, Georgia. The Wildcats alongside Nebraska, Texas and Pittsburgh earned the top-four seeds in the tournament, meaning they can host all the way up to the NCAA Final Four if they are still alive in the championship. 

NCAA Tournament play gets underway on Thursday night inside Historic Memorial Coliseum as the eighth-seeded team in the Lexington Regional, UCLA, will play Georgia Tech at 4:30 p.m. ET followed by Kentucky hosting Wofford at 7 p.m. ET in the first round matches. The two winners will play Friday at 7 p.m. ET. All matches of the first and second rounds will be broadcasted live on ESPN+.
