Omaha Supernovas to be Founding Member of Major League Volleyball

January 16, 2025

MLV Holdings, a newly formed investment group, today announced the launch of Major League Volleyball, a women’s professional volleyball league supported by more than $100 million in committed funding. Launching in January 2026, MLV will feature 10 teams including the Omaha Supernovas, which won the Pro Volleyball Federation championship last year and has set national attendance records.

In addition to Nebraska, Major League Volleyball will launch with teams in Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Kansas, Ohio and Washington, according to an MLV press release. Franchises will be independently owned and operated, with MLV creating ownership standards and operational playbooks to ensure major league standards are upheld at every level.

The founding partner group includes Danny White, founder of the Supernovas; Vivek Ranadivé, owner and chairman of the Sacramento Kings; Jason Derulo, partner in the Omaha Supernovas; Kerri Walsh Jennings, a three-time Olympic gold medalist; and Benjamin Priest, founder of Won Group.

“Our sport deserves the best of the best,” said Kerri Walsh Jennings. “Our women are kick-ass individuals and athletes, and it is long overdue for there to be a product that resembles the biggest and brightest sports, media and entertainment platforms on the planet. This is the league I would have wished to play in, and the Supernovas are a standard for a pro team that I would have wanted to play for. Stay tuned!”

Volleyball ranks among the top five most popular global sports with more than 800 million players and fans worldwide.

The Omaha Supernovas will finish this current season in the Pro Volleyball Federation, which also includes teams in Atlanta; Columbus, Ohio; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Indianapolis, Orlando, San Diego and Las Vegas.
