Volleyball to host Wisconsin at Fiserv Forum on Sept. 17
MILWAUKEE – Fiserv Forum will host an NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball match between in-state rivals Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, in downtown Milwaukee.
“We are excited to be back at Fiserv Forum and showcase the high level of volleyball being played in this state,” said Marquette head coach Ryan Theis, a Madison native who will enter his 12th year leading the Golden Eagles this fall. “Our match two years ago at the venue was record setting and the event is something our student-athletes and coaches will always remember. We are looking forward to another great turnout celebrating one of the fastest growing sports in the nation and our amazing fans at Marquette.”
The Golden Eagles and Badgers played in front of 17,037 fans at Fiserv Forum on Sept. 13, 2023, still an NCAA attendance record for an indoor regular season game. It remains a state record for attendance at a women’s sporting event and ranks as the 15th-most attended NCAA women’s volleyball match ever (including NCAA tournament play).
The 2024 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship title match drew 1.3 million viewers on network television (ABC), while the tournament itself was the most-consumed ever as more than 1.3 billion minutes were watched across all ESPN platforms.
The two perennial NCAA tournament participants each advanced to NCAA regional competition last fall and the Badgers captured a national championship in 2021.
