Women's college volleyball gets its biggest regular-season showcase yet this week, as the inaugural Allstate Big Ten/SEC Volleyball Challenge Week tips off Tuesday, Sept. 1 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 6.

All 34 programs from both conferences will compete in 27 matchups spread across 10 host campuses, with Allstate named the title sponsor in a two-year deal that includes in-venue branding and match-day activations at every site.

The week closes with a Sunday doubleheader at Wrigley Field in Chicago — the first time volleyball has ever been played at the Cubs' home ballpark.

No. 3 Kentucky faces No. 13 Penn State at 7 p.m. ET, followed by No. 1 Nebraska against Missouri at 9 p.m. ET, both airing live on FOX, according to NCAA.com.

Tuesday's Opening Slate

Action begins Tuesday with nine matches.

The earliest tip is Arkansas vs. Rutgers at 4 p.m. ET on SECN+ from Historic Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville, where the Razorbacks arrive 3-0 after sweeping SIUE, UTA and UTSA at home last weekend, per the Arkansas Razorbacks athletics site.

Michigan State vs. LSU follows at 4:30 p.m. on Big Ten Network from Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.

The evening's marquee Tuesday clash is No. 12 Texas A&M vs. No. 14 Purdue at 8 p.m. on FS1, and No. 11 Minnesota meets No. 17 Florida at 9 p.m. on Big Ten Network.

No. 22 Tennessee hosts Illinois at 7 p.m. on SEC Network, while No. 25 Oregon visits Missouri at 9 p.m., also on SEC Network.

Sunday's Wrigley Field doubleheader caps the challenge. The Big Ten.org announcement confirmed the Allstate partnership extends to next year's neutral-site event hosted by the SEC, meaning this interconference format is set to continue.

Nebraska vs. Missouri at 9 p.m. closes out the week.
