CLEVELAND, Ohio โ Since NCAA beach volleyball was sanctioned in 2016, only two teams have won the NCAA Beach Volleyball National Championship: USC and UCLA. So it's no surprise that in the final year of the PAC-12, the conference's biggest rivals would face off for all the marbles.
The game begins Sunday at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN. Several streaming services will broadcast the match live, and you can watch it for free on Fubo and DirecTV Stream, or Sling, which offers promotional offers.
This will be the fourth national title match between USC and UCLA. The Bruins won their first game in 2019, but lost their next two games in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
USC won its first two national titles. They have won five of seven total since 2016, including each of the three national championships since the canceled 2020 season.
Meanwhile, UCLA has won its remaining two games (2018, 2019) and has a chance to end the Trojans' current winning streak, take third place and be in line for the title series. This is the only year in which one of his two giants did not advance to at least the semifinals.
