Jordan Larson, one of the most decorated volleyball players in American history, has announced that the 2026 season will be her final chapter in competitive volleyball. The four-time Olympic medalist revealed on Friday that she will step away from playing professionally after this year, closing out a remarkable 17-season career that has left an indelible mark on the sport.

“This season isn’t about an ending,” Larson said. “It’s about celebrating what made the journey possible.” Rather than view this year as a finish line, she’s choosing to use it to honor the people, places and moments that shaped her path — from grassroots gyms in Nebraska to Olympic podiums around the world.

A Career Built on Excellence

Larson’s volleyball journey began in Hooper, Nebraska, and took her to the University of Nebraska, where she became a three-time All-American and helped the Cornhuskers capture the 2006 national championship.

On the international stage, Larson’s resume reads like a history of U.S. volleyball success. She was a longtime captain of the U.S. Women’s National Team, earning medals at multiple Olympic Games — including gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, a historic achievement that marked the first time the U.S. women’s indoor team reached the top of the podium.

Beyond the Olympics, Larson starred with the national team at major FIVB events and brought her talents to top professional clubs around the globe in Russia, Turkey, China and Italy.

A Fitting Ending at Home

Larson’s final season will be spent with LOVB Nebraska, the professional team she helped rebrand and co-own in Omaha. The move has brought her back to her roots — both as a player and as a leader in growing the sport at home.

She has also spent time giving back off the court: Larson served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, the University of Nebraska, helping guide the Huskers to recent NCAA tournament success.

Legacy of a Volleyball Great

At 39 years old, Larson’s longevity and impact on the sport are rare. Her competitive fire, leadership and commitment helped elevate American volleyball globally — inspiring the next generation of players who grew up watching her excel at every level of the game.

As she prepares to retire after the 2026 season, Larson says she’s grateful for every memory and connection made along the way. Fans across Nebraska and the volleyball world will have one last chance to cheer her on — not just as a champion athlete, but as a beloved ambassador of the sport.
