STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Tarleton State Beach Volleyball announced its 2026 schedule on Thursday, a two-month long regular season that starts Feb. 21.
 
Tarleton State will begin its third season in program history at Houston Christian Feb. 21-22, in Houston. The Texans and Huskies have matched up once before, in Tarleton State's inaugural campaign in 2024, also in Houston.
 
Tarleton State's first three events will be in Texas, with the next two at Concordia on Feb. 25 in Austin, and at Mary Hardin-Baylor March 6-7 in Belton.
 
The Texans will play at Louisiana-Monroe on March 13-14, the second time Tarleton State will face the War Hawks in Monroe in three seasons.
 
On March 20-21, Tarleton State will make a trip to Tucson, Arizona, to take on the Arizona Wildcats. The two teams matched up last season at the LBSU Invitational in Long Beach, California, with this marking Tarleton State Beach Volleyball's first trip to the state of Arizona.
 
On March 27-28, Tarleton State will face McNeese for the third straight season. In 2024, Tarleton State's first matches in program history came at the Cowgirl Beach Bash in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and last year the Texans and Cowgirls faced off in New Orleans. This year, the Texans will return to Lake Charles.
 
Tarleton State's final regular season road trip will be to Corpus Christi, for an April 3-4 outing at the Islanders. Last year the Texans traveled to Corpus Christi, the Texans started the Islander Classic with a 5-0 sweep of Sam Houston.
 
The Texans will host three regular season matches in Stephenville, between April 9-10. Tarleton State will clash with Howard Payne on April 9, then host both Mary Hardin-Baylor and East Texas Baptist on April 10.

The Conference USA Beach Volleyball Championship will return to Youngsville, Louisiana, from April 23-26. The Texans have won a match in the conference tournament in each of their first two seasons, defeating Jacksonville State in 2024 and Sam Houston last year.
