SAN FRANCISCO – California will open the 2020-21 Pac-12 volleyball slate at 2 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 22 at UCLA, the first of a two-match opening weekend against the No. 22 Bruins in Los Angeles.

The Pac-12 Conference revealed its season schedule for women's volleyball on Tuesday, which consists of Conference-only matches for the upcoming 2020 campaign to be held during the winter and spring of 2021.

The Bears will play a 22 Conference-match schedule, increasing from the league's standard 20-match slate. Each weekend of competition features a two-match series to take place at the same site. Rivalry weekend for Cal will be a home-and-home series with Stanford.

Start times and matches selected for broadcast by Pac-12 Networks through Feb. 28 are listed below. Remaining start times and broadcasts will be announced in the coming weeks. Dates and start times for non-televised matches will be announced when they are determined. All volleyball competitions will be conducted in accordance with the Pac-12 COVID-19 Medical Advisory Committee health and safety recommendations and guidelines available at Pac-12.com/health.
 
After the opening trip to face UCLA, Cal is set for its home opener the following weekend against No. 10 Utah on Friday, Jan. 29 and and Sunday, Jan. 31.

Due to local health guidelines, fans are not allowed inside Haas Pavilion for the matches. However, fans can be present to cheer on the Bears by purchasing a cardboard cutout HERE.
