LOVB Nebraska


LOVB Nebraska is an American professional women's indoor volleyball team based in Omaha, Nebraska. Originally known as LOVB Omaha, the team is an inaugural member of LOVB Pro, the professional level of League One Volleyball that began play in January 2025.

History

In 2021, LOVB announced plans to start a professional women's volleyball league in the United States. Omaha was announced as LOVB's fifth team location in August 2023. The city also hosts the Omaha Supernovas of the rival Major League Volleyball.
LOVB Omaha played its first season in 2025, with an inaugural roster including Jordan Larson and Justine Wong-Orantes, who played college volleyball for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and were the team's first players signed. Though they finished in 6th place in the 6-team LOVB Pro with a 5-11 record, Omaha would win its quarterfinal and semifinal matches in the 2025 LOVB Finals championship match, where they were swept 3 sets to 0 by LOVB Austin.
In August 2025, LOVB Pro announced that a group headlined by former Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball star Jordan Larson would purchase the LOVB Omaha franchise, becoming the second LOVB Pro team to have non-league ownership. Coinciding with the sale, the league announced that LOVB Omaha would rebrand to LOVB Nebraska, a nod to the popularity of volleyball throughout the state. Former Creighton Bluejays coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth was also announced as the team's president of business operations.
