2025 PORTLAND STATE VOLLEYBALL SCHEDULE
PORTLAND, Ore. — For at least one weekend this fall, the eyes of the volleyball world in the state of Oregon will be focused squarely on Viking Pavilion as the Portland State volleyball team hosts Oregon and Oregon State, Sept. 19-20. The in-state weekend provides a clear highlight for the Vikings' 2025 schedule, which the program released Wednesday.
It's only the second time in the past 15 years that the Vikings will host both Oregon and Oregon State in the same season. They also hosted both programs in 2022 as part of the Hotel Vance Rose City Showdown. The Vikings' match against the Ducks at that tournament brought a record crowd to Viking Pavilion. They then set another attendance record this past fall when 1,340 fans came to see the Vikings host then-No. 12 Oregon.
That record figures to be under threat again this fall. The Vikings will host the Ducks at 7 p.m. on Sept. 19, while their match against the Beavers will begin at 5 p.m. on Sept. 20.
That weekend will close out a road-heavy non-conference schedule for the Vikings. Portland State will host an exhibition against Corban on Aug. 18. After that, they'll play on the road for the first three weekends of the season before hosting the Ducks and Beavers.
The road-heavy start to the season figures to test what will be a youthful Viking team in 2025. The Vikings will have only one true senior in
Tyra Schaub this fall, while two-thirds of their team will be made up of underclassmen.
That youth will need to get their feet wet in a hurry, then, as the Vikings begin on the road at a tournament at Air Force. The Vikings will play neutral-site matches against Jacksonville State and Seattle U, both on Aug. 29, before facing host Air Force on Aug. 30.
The next weekend will see the Vikings play Long Beach State and San Francisco at USF's home tournament on Sept. 4 and 5, respectively. The Vikings will stay in the Bay Area for a match against Cal Baptist on Sept. 6 that will be played in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Vikings will face Cal Baptist again the following weekend when they head to CBU's home tournament, Sept. 11-13. The Vikings open the tournament against New Mexico on Sept. 11. They'll face host Cal Baptist on Sept. 12 before closing out the tournament against Cal State Fullerton on Sept. 13.
The home weekend against Oregon and Oregon will precede the start of Big Sky play. The Vikings open their conference schedule with a split weekend, hosting Idaho State at Viking Pavilion on Sept. 25 before hitting the road to play Montana State in Bozeman on Sept. 27.
The Vikings return to Viking Pavilion to host Sacramento State on Oct. 3 before hitting the road again to play at Northern Arizona (Oct. 9) and Northern Colorado (Oct. 11).
Four straight home matches will give the Vikings a chance to find a groove. The Vikings host Montana State and Montana on Oct. 16 and 18, respectively, then stay home to host Eastern Washington and Idaho on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25.
The Vikings play at Weber State (Oct. 30) and Idaho State (Nov. 1) the following weekend but then return to Viking Pavilion to close out their home schedule against Northern Colorado (Nov. 6) and Northern Arizona (Nov. 8).
Three straight road matches will wrap up the regular season for the Vikings as they play at Sacramento State (Nov. 14), Idaho (Nov. 19) and Eastern Washington (Nov. 21).
The Idaho-Eastern Washington road trip will be played a day earlier than a usual conference weekend. The Vikings will face them on Wednesday and Friday, rather than the usual Thursday-Saturday schedule during Big Sky play. That's due to a change in the Big Sky tournament schedule this year. Instead of playing over Thanksgiving weekend, the Big Sky Conference will host its tournament Monday to Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Northern Colorado will host the tournament, having earned the right as last year's regular-season champion.
Tickets and other information regarding the Vikings' 2025 volleyball schedule will be released at a later date.
