League One Volleyball (LOVB) superstars Amber Igiede and Haleigh Washington attended the 2026 Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California, on Jan. 4, days before their league is set to kick off its highly anticipated second season. “Having the inaugural season happen was so magical,” Igiede, a middle blocker for LOVB Houston, told E! News’ Keltie Knight. “It was amazing. The fans were great. Being here for the second season, we’re hoping that there are even more fans, and that the sport just continues to grow.” LOVB’s 2026 season kicks off on Jan. 7 with a First Serve rematch between LOVB Austin and LOVB Nebraska, airing at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on USA Network. ►► Subscribe to USA Network on YouTube: USA Network.tv/YTSubscribe ►► Watch Full Episodes: USA Networktv.app.link/WatchUSA NetworkYT ►► USA Network Official Site: USA Network.tv/official #usasports #volleyball #womensvolleyball About USA Network: As one of the leaders in cable entertainment, USA Netw...
