The 2026 Credit Union 1 Mountain West Women’s Volleyball Championship comes to Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, with two semifinal matches deciding who plays for the title. The first semifinal, No. 1 seed against No. 4 seed, starts at 1:00 PM Pacific Time, and the second semifinal, No. 2 seed against No. 3 seed, starts at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. The winners meet in the championship final on Wednesday, November 25, at 2:00 PM. Tickets for the championship start at $15.00 through UNLVtickets.
UNLV hosts the tournament, and the championship is the payoff for a regular season that runs through November 21. The four teams that reach Las Vegas are the top four finishers in the Mountain West standings, so the semifinal pairings are set by the final weekend of league play. The No. 1 seed faces the No. 4 seed in the early match, and the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds meet in the late match, with the two winners advancing to Wednesday’s final. The champion earns the Mountain West’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Cox Pavilion is UNLV’s volleyball home, a compact arena where the crowd sits close to the court and the atmosphere builds quickly. The semifinal doubleheader is a full afternoon of volleyball: two matches, four teams, and a title on the line the next day. Doors and seating are general admission by section, so arriving for the 1:00 PM first serve is the way to get the best seats for both matches.

Tickets
Tickets for the Mountain West Women’s Volleyball Championship are on sale now through UNLVtickets, starting at $15.00. The championship ticket page covers the full tournament, so one ticket gets you into the semifinal doubleheader on Tuesday and the final on Wednesday is a separate session. Buy from the official UNLVtickets page rather than a resale marketplace: the championship is a small-venue event and resale listings are often priced well above the $15 starting price. Students and UNLV fans should check the ticket page for any student pricing before buying.
Getting There
Cox Pavilion sits on the UNLV campus at 4505 S Maryland Pkwy, at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Maryland Parkway. Drivers can use the UNLV parking lots and garages around the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion; campus parking is enforced, so check the signs and pay at the meters or kiosks. Rideshare pick-up and drop-off is on the campus perimeter roads. The 109 Maryland Parkway bus stops on the east side of campus, and the 201 Tropicana bus runs along the south side. Because the first semifinal starts at 1:00 PM on a Tuesday, aim to be on campus by 12:30 PM and leave time to walk from the parking lots to the pavilion.
Good to Know
The championship matches stream on the Mountain West Network for fans who cannot attend in person. Bring a valid photo ID and the card used to buy the tickets, and check the UNLVtickets listing before you go for the latest entry rules. Bags are screened at the door, and large bags are best left in the car. After the semifinals, the championship final is Wednesday, November 25, at 2:00 PM, also at Cox Pavilion.
