The 2026 Credit Union 1 Mountain West Women’s Volleyball Championship is decided at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, with the championship final starting at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The two semifinal winners from Tuesday, November 24 — the winner of No. 1 seed against No. 4 seed and the winner of No. 2 seed against No. 3 seed — meet for the title and the Mountain West’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Tickets for the championship start at $15.00 through UNLVtickets.
UNLV hosts the tournament, and the final 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, and by Wednesday afternoon only two remain. The final is a single match, winner takes all, and the champion cuts down the nets at Cox Pavilion before heading to the NCAA tournament. The final is played on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, so it is an afternoon match — a 2:00 PM first serve — which suits families and fans traveling for the holiday.
Cox Pavilion is UNLV’s volleyball home, a compact arena where the crowd sits close to the court and the atmosphere builds quickly. The final is the biggest match of the Mountain West volleyball season, and the small room makes it feel bigger: every rally is loud, every point matters, and the trophy presentation happens on the court right after the last point. Doors and seating are general admission by section, so arriving for the 2:00 PM first serve is the way to get the best seats.

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 final starts at 2:00 PM on a Wednesday, aim to be on campus by 1:30 PM and leave time to walk from the parking lots to the pavilion.
Good to Know
The championship final streams 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. The semifinals are Tuesday, November 24, at 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, also at Cox Pavilion.
