The MVC Volleyball Playoff Seeds & Matchups page provides a complete look at the Merrimack Valley Conference teams selected for the 2026 MIAA girls volleyball postseason, including each program’s division, tournament seed, opponent, regular-season record, match location, date, and scheduled start time. The tournament field can change after its initial release, so this page will be updated whenever the MIAA announces revised seeds, matchup adjustments, venue changes, or new match information.
Merrimack Valley Conference volleyball is represented across three statewide divisions, giving fans the opportunity to follow local teams from the opening round through the state championship matches. Andover, Central Catholic, Chelmsford, Haverhill, Methuen, and North Andover qualified in Division 1, Billerica earned a spot in Division 2, and Dracut and Tewksbury are competing in Division 3. Higher-seeded teams generally host their early-round matchups, while lower-seeded teams travel, although gym availability and scheduling conflicts can sometimes lead to changes.
Fans can follow their favorite teams throughout the postseason by visiting the Valley Sports Daily girls volleyball schedule pages for Andover, Billerica, Central Catholic, Chelmsford, Dracut, Haverhill, Methuen, North Andover, and Tewksbury. Each team page provides additional information about the program and its schedule.
Throughout the playoffs, Valley Sports Daily will provide updated scores, match coverage, photos, and results involving MVC teams.

The MVC Girls Volleyball Playoff Seeds & Matchups are organized by MIAA division, with each listing including the team’s seed in the tournament field, its regular-season record at the time of the bracket release, its opponent, and the available match details. Teams competing in preliminary-round matches will also have their potential Round of 32 opponents identified so readers can follow their path through the tournament.
The postseason brings together conference champions, division contenders, and qualifying teams from across Massachusetts. Central Catholic enters the Division 1 tournament as the top seed, while Chelmsford earned the fourth seed and will host fellow MVC program Methuen in the Round of 32. Fans should confirm the location and start time before each match because facility availability, scheduling conflicts, and other circumstances can result in adjustments.
As teams advance, this page will remain a convenient reference for upcoming opponents, host sites, match times, and the latest postseason path for every MVC program still competing in the statewide tournament. Valley Sports Daily will continue updating the listings as additional match information becomes available.
