The 2026 BYU Cougars men's volleyball team represents Brigham Young University in the 2026 NCAA Division I & II men's volleyball season. The Cougars, led by twelfth year head coach Shawn Olmstead, play their home games at Smith Fieldhouse. [3] The Cougars are members of the MPSF. After finishing last season with a MPSF quarterfinal tournament loss, the Cougars were picked to finish fifth in the MPSF Pre-Season Poll. [4]

Contents

It will be a season of new beginnings for BYU men's volleyball as one conference foe has folded, Grand Canyon [5] , but two new teams have joined the MPSF: UC Merced and Jessup. [6] Grand Canyon's discontinuation of men's volleyball also led 3 Grand Canyon players to transfer to BYU including one returnee: Trent Moser. [7] [8]
