Marquette Volleyball to Host 2025 BIG EAST Championship on Nov. 22-23

MILWAUKEE – Marquette University will host the 2025 BIG EAST Conference Women’s Volleyball Championship at the Al McGuire Center on Saturday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 23, it was announced on Wednesday in addition to MU’s full regular season league schedule.

The Golden Eagles host the BIG EAST tournament for the ninth time in program history and the event is played on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving for the first time since 2012. MU hosted consecutive years in 2011 and 2012 when the league was undergoing realignment. Since the 2011 campaign, either Marquette or Creighton has hosted every league tournament except in 2016 when the event was played at Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Marquette opens league action at the Al McGuire Center with the first two weekends at home, culminating a 13-match home stretch on Sunday, Oct. 5 against DePaul. The Golden Eagles will also host six neutral site matches during that span, totaling 19 matches hosted by MU from Sept. 5-Oct. 5.

MU faces Providence (Sept. 26) and UConn (Sept. 27) during the first weekend of BIG EAST action at home before another highly anticipated matchup with Creighton at the Al McGuire Center on Thursday, Oct. 2. The contest against the Bluejays pits a pair of first-year head coaches at their respective institutions in Marquette’s Tom Mendoza and CU’s Brian Rosen. Mendoza spent six seasons (2010-15) on the Creighton coaching staff, including the final three after the Jays moved to the BIG EAST for the 2013 campaign.

Marquette hits the road on Oct. 10-11 at Seton Hall and St. John’s to begin a stretch of six-of-eight matches on the road, culminating with the return trip to Creighton on Saturday, Nov. 1.

MU closes its regular season home schedule on Nov. 7 against St. John’s and Sunday, Nov. 9 against Seton Hall. The Golden Eagles then end the regular season with matches at Butler (Nov. 15) and Xavier (Nov. 16).

Previously this spring, Marquette announced its non-conference schedule, including a match against Wisconsin at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, Sept. 17 and games at the Al McGuire Center against Florida on Sept. 19 and Minnesota on Sept. 21.

Season tickets for matches at the Al are available for as low as $75 and can be purchased online.

Presale tickets for the match against the Badgers are available to season ticket members prior to the June 26 public on sale. For questions email athletics@marquette.edu or call or text the Marquette Ticket Office at 414-288-4668.
