Ever planned to follow a college volleyball team and then got lost in dates and venues I’ve been there too. That’s why I’m breaking down everything you need to know about the Hawaii Rainbow Whine 2025 schedule when they play, where, and why it matters. Think of this as your friendly guide to their season.
Who Are the Rainbow Wahine
The Hawaiʻi Rainbow Wahine are the women’s volleyball team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UH). They play home matches at the SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.
For the 2025 season, they enter what’s being billed as their final year in their current conference so expectations are high.
2025 Season Overview What the Schedule Looks Like
- The 2025 regular season features 29 matches.
- Of those, 17 are home games at SimpliFi Arena.
- There are a number of tournaments and tough non-conference matchups before conference play starts.
Big Early-Season Events & Non-Conference Games
- Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic — Aug 29–31 at home. Opponents include Marquette Golden Eagles, Utah State Aggies, and San Diego Toreros.
- Outrigger Invitational — early September, also at home. Opponents include San Jose State Spartans, Utah Valley Wolverines, and St. John’s Red Storm.

Postseason: 2025 Conference Tournament

Why This Schedule Stands Out (And Why You Should Care)
- Lots of home games — 17 chances to catch live action if you’re nearby or planning a visit.
- Tough early-season tests — competing teams that reached NCAA tournaments recently. That means intense matches even before conference play.
- Balanced season — a mix of home and away, local and mainland games. Good variety for players and fans.
- Historic season for UH — final season in current conference, with expectations high after consistent success.
