With the start of the 2024 women’s college volleyball season this August, the first awards and coaches polls will be released. The AVCA coaches have released their preseason volleyball rankings, which include the top 25 teams in Division I, Division II and Division III.

No surprises at the top of the divisions, the defending national champions remain atop the preseason polls. The Texas Longhorns win Division I by 46 votes.

In 2023, Cal State LA Volleyball became the first team since the AVCA polls began in 1986 to rise from an unranked spot in the final regular season poll to win a national title. The Golden Eagles enter the new season as the Division II leader.

Home games for eight of the top 25 Division II teams from the preseason will be streamed live on FloVolleyball throughout the season.

Juniata College is the heavyweight of Division III volleyball, and the Eagles begin their quest for their third consecutive NCAA championship title by sitting first in the preseason rankings.

Here are the preseason rankings for all three NCAA divisions in women’s college volleyball.
