When Are the 2026 Salem-Keizer Volleyball Games?

Looking for high school volleyball games in Salem and Keizer this fall? The 2026 girls volleyball season begins in late August, with local public and private schools playing throughout September and October.

This guide includes varsity schedules for McNary, McKay, North Salem, South Salem, Sprague, West Salem, Blanchet Catholic, Salem Academy, Western Christian, Chemawa Indian School and Livingstone Adventist Academy, along with information about Oregon School for the Deaf and other local programs.

Salem-Keizer Public Schools also offers girls volleyball to seventh- and eighth-grade students during the fall.

And there’s another exciting addition: boys volleyball is now an OSAA-sanctioned spring sport. McKay, McNary, North Salem, South Salem, Sprague and West Salem are all currently listed for the spring 2027 boys volleyball season, along with Western Christian.

Important: Schedules can change. Before heading to a match, double-check the official OSAA Girls Volleyball schedule or the individual school’s athletic page.

McNary High School Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Keizer

McNary gives Keizer families plenty of opportunities to catch volleyball close to home, especially once Central Valley Conference play begins.

McNary Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

McNary’s current 2026 varsity schedule includes 14 regular-season matches, with plenty of Salem-Keizer conference competition after the first few nonleague games.

If you’re coming to Keizer for a McNary match or are newer to the community, you might also enjoy my guide to the Best Neighborhoods in Keizer, Oregon.

McKay High School Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

McKay’s schedule includes local conference games against all five of the other Salem-Keizer public high schools.

McKay Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

OSAA confirms the local conference pairings, including South Salem at McKay on September 8 and West Salem at McKay on September 15.

North Salem High School Volleyball Schedule 2026

North Salem Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

Conference nights are especially convenient for local families because North Salem’s league opponents are all within Salem or Keizer. OSAA’s September 17 schedule, for example, has North Salem at Sprague, McNary at McKay and South Salem at West Salem all on the same night.

South Salem High School Volleyball Schedule 2026

South Salem Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

South Salem has a mix of conference games and tournaments, including the Grant and South Albany tournaments.

If South Salem is one of the areas you’re considering living in, my Best Neighborhoods in Salem, Oregon guide breaks down South Salem, West Salem and several other parts of the city.

Sprague High School Volleyball Schedule 2026

Sprague has one of the busier preseason and tournament schedules among the local schools.

Sprague Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

Sprague’s published program schedule includes its local conference matches as well as multiple tournaments during the season.

West Salem High School Volleyball Schedule 2026

West Salem Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

West Salem’s league schedule gives families several easy-to-attend home matches against other Salem and Keizer schools.

Blanchet Catholic Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

Blanchet Catholic fields a girls varsity volleyball team and competes in the PacWest Conference. OSAA’s current schedule confirms local and league games including Salem Academy at Blanchet, Gervais at Blanchet and other regional matchups.

Blanchet Catholic Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

A note about September 24: current public schedule feeds have shown conflicting Blanchet opponents for that date. I would confirm that specific match directly with Blanchet before heading out rather than publish one as certain.

One game I would definitely circle is Salem Academy at Blanchet Catholic on September 15 at 6:00 PM — an all-Salem private-school matchup confirmed on the OSAA schedule.

Salem Academy Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

Salem Academy also fields girls varsity volleyball.

The school’s complete fall schedule is still being populated across the current public schedule feeds, so rather than fill in games from an older season, here are the 2026 varsity matches currently verifiable:

OSAA confirms Scio at Salem Academy on September 17 at 6:30 PM, while Oregon Episcopal School also lists its September 1 home match against Salem Academy.

Because the schedule is still filling in, this is one school where I would definitely check the OSAA volleyball schedule before attending.

Western Christian Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

Western Christian is located on Wallace Road NW in Salem and has a girls varsity volleyball program.

Western Christian Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

Western Christian is also currently listed as one of the local schools participating in boys volleyball in spring 2027.

Chemawa Indian School Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

Chemawa Indian School is located in Northeast Salem and fields both varsity and JV girls volleyball. OSAA lists the program in the Casco League.

Chemawa Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

The Livingstone vs. Chemawa matches on September 10 and October 6 are two especially local games because both schools are in Salem.

Livingstone Adventist Academy Volleyball Schedule 2026 — Salem

Livingstone Adventist Academy is located in East Salem and lists volleyball among its fall sports. OSAA currently lists varsity and JV girls volleyball at the school.

Livingstone Adventist Girls Varsity Volleyball Schedule

*The current schedule feed displays Willamette Valley Christian on both October 7 and October 8. Because that could be a schedule revision still being resolved, confirm those dates directly with the school.

Oregon School for the Deaf Volleyball — Salem

The Oregon School for the Deaf is another Salem school that should be included in a true local volleyball guide.

OSAA currently lists girls varsity and JV volleyball for Oregon School for the Deaf in the Casco League. However, a complete 2026 game-by-game schedule was not posted in the current schedule information I could verify as of August 17, 2026.

Rather than use an old schedule and risk publishing incorrect games, I’ll keep this section limited to confirmed information until the 2026 matchups are available.

Oregon School for the Deaf is located at 999 Locust Street NE in Salem.

What About St. John Bosco High School in Salem?

St. John Bosco High School is located in Salem, so I checked it as well.

Its current 2026-27 OSAA school page does not list girls volleyball as a varsity OSAA activity, even though the school has referenced volleyball among broader extracurricular opportunities. Because there is no current OSAA varsity volleyball schedule to verify, I have not created one here.

2026 Salem-Keizer Middle School Volleyball

Volleyball is also a big fall sport at the middle-school level.

Salem-Keizer Public Schools offers girls volleyball to seventh- and eighth-grade students during the fall.

The district middle schools include:

• Claggett Creek Middle School
• Crossler Middle School
• Houck Middle School
• Judson Middle School
• Leslie Middle School
• Parrish Middle School
• Stephens Middle School
• Straub Middle School
• Waldo Middle School
• Walker Middle School
• Whiteaker Middle School

Where Can I Find the 2026 Middle School Volleyball Schedule?

As of August 17, 2026, I could not verify one complete district-wide game-by-game middle school volleyball schedule with every school, opponent and gym in one place.

Salem-Keizer directs families to individual school athletics pages and its Arbiter registration/athletics system, and schools such as Crossler, Walker, Judson, Houck and Whiteaker currently confirm that volleyball is open to seventh- and eighth-grade girls.

Rather than copy 2025 matchups into a 2026 guide, I recommend checking each school’s athletics page as schedules are finalized.

What About Boys Volleyball in Salem & Keizer?

This is a newer and growing part of Oregon high school athletics.

Boys volleyball is now an OSAA sport and is played in the spring rather than the fall.

For the upcoming spring 2027 season, OSAA currently lists:

• McKay High School
• McNary High School
• North Salem High School
• South Salem High School
• Sprague High School
• West Salem High School
• Western Christian

The game-by-game 2027 schedules have not yet been posted, so there are no spring dates to add to this guide yet.

That is something local sports families may want to watch because boys volleyball has grown quickly in Oregon. Salem-Keizer schools were already participating during the 2026 spring season.

Salem-Keizer Volleyball Games to Circle in 2026

When Are the Oregon High School Volleyball Playoffs?

The regular season leads into OSAA postseason play in late October and early November.

For the 2026 season, OSAA’s calendar has the 6A volleyball cutoff on October 24, followed by first-round playoff games on October 28, second-round games on October 31, and the state tournament on November 6–7, 2026.

Those playoff opponents and locations aren’t known yet because they depend on regular-season results.

Volleyball Is Another Fun Part of Living in Salem & Keizer

One of the things I love about living in Salem and Keizer is how easy it is to feel connected to the community through local schools and sports.

Football may get a lot of the Friday-night attention, but volleyball gyms have their own energy — student sections, families in the stands, packed rivalry matches and athletes who have spent months preparing for the season.

And because so many Salem-Keizer conference opponents are just a few miles apart, there are opportunities almost every week to watch two local schools compete against each other.

Planning to Attend a Volleyball Match?

A few quick things to keep in mind:

• Double-check kickoff — or technically first serve — times before leaving.
• Tournament schedules can change as brackets and participating teams are finalized.
• Some schools have separate varsity, JV and freshman/JV2 schedules, so make sure you’re looking at the correct team.
• Check whether tickets are sold online or at the door.
• Matches marked TBD or Check schedule did not have a reliable finalized time in the current public schedule.
• Postseason matches are not included yet because those opponents depend on regular-season results.

The official OSAA Girls Volleyball schedule is a good place to confirm games before you go.
