The Columbus Fury, Columbus’s professional volleyball team, is set to launch its 2026 Major League Volleyball (MLV) season with an away game against the Atlanta Vibe on January 8. This marks the beginning of a new era for the Fury, who are eager to improve upon their past performances and establish themselves as a formidable force in the league.
In the previous seasons, the Fury struggled, recording a combined 17-35 record during their first two years in what was formerly known as the Pro Volleyball Federation. The 2025 season saw them finish in last place, missing out on the league’s four-team playoffs, while the Orlando Valkyries clinched the PVF finals.
Building a Competitive Roster
Despite not having a first-round pick in the 2025 MLV draft, the Fury made a strategic selection by picking Flormarie Heredia Colon in the second round, 10th overall. Colon, an outside hitter, holds the University of Miami’s record for all-time kills and has experience playing for the Dominican national team. Her addition is expected to bolster the team’s offensive capabilities significantly.

The Fury’s home opener is scheduled for January 10 at Nationwide Arena, where they will face the Omaha Supernovas. Fans eager to support the team can purchase tickets as single entries or opt for partial-season or full-season ticket packages.
