UCLA Men’s Volleyball is one of the foundational programs in the American collegiate men’s game. The Bruins compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and play in Los Angeles, where the program’s long history is tied closely to the growth of elite men’s volleyball in the United States. John Hawks became UCLA’s head coach ahead of the 2025 season after previously serving on the Bruins’ staff, and he has kept the program operating at a national-title level.
UCLA entered the 2026 NCAA tournament as the top seed after winning both the MPSF regular-season and tournament championships. That season followed a run of three consecutive NCAA title-match appearances through 2025, reinforcing a standard created by decades of championship success. The Bruins’ identity is built on repeated national contention, strong player development and a pipeline that has produced numerous U.S. national-team and professional athletes.
