UNLV women’s volleyball hosts the New Mexico Lobos at Cox Pavilion on Thursday, November 12, 2026, with first serve at 6:00 PM PT. It is the first of two home matches against the Lobos in the same week: the teams meet again on Saturday, November 14, at 1:00 PM for Senior Day. Thursday’s match is the evening fixture, and the official UNLV schedule lists it as a National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) match with a White Out theme, so fans are encouraged to wear white.
Conference volleyball in November is where seasons are decided. The Mountain West race is tight late in the year, and home matches at Cox Pavilion are the Rebels’ chance to bank wins in front of their own crowd. The Pavilion is a compact arena by design: the court is close to the seats, the crowd noise builds quickly, and a good rally can lift the whole building. For students and locals, it is one of the best-value nights of live sport in Las Vegas, and the 6:00 PM start makes it an easy evening out after work or class.

Getting to Cox Pavilion
Cox Pavilion, known as The Pavilion, is on the UNLV campus at 4505 S Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89154, next to the Thomas & Mack Center. If you are driving, the campus has parking lots and garages near the arena, and you should allow extra time on a Thursday evening: the campus and Maryland Parkway can be busy at 6:00 PM. Rideshare and taxi drop-offs are available on campus, and public transit serves Maryland Parkway.
Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the 6:00 PM first serve. That leaves time to park, walk to Cox Pavilion, find your seat and settle in before the match starts. The Pavilion is a smaller arena, so even the seats farther back are close to the court, and the atmosphere builds quickly once the first set gets under way. After the match, expect a crowd leaving at once; the campus walkways can be busy, so a short wait inside the arena can make the exit easier.
Good to know before you go
College volleyball is an indoor sport, and a match usually lasts around two hours, depending on how many sets are played. It is a family-friendly event, and the 6:00 PM start makes it an easy evening for families with children. Dress as you would for an evening at an arena, and bring a light layer: the arena is air-conditioned and can feel cool once the match is under way. Check the UNLV athletics website before you leave for the latest details on bags, prohibited items and accessibility, and confirm the 6:00 PM start time on the official schedule on the day of the match.
For Rebels fans, this is a November home match with a theme and a conference rival in town. Wear white, arrive early, and enjoy a night of college volleyball at Cox Pavilion.
