ATLANTA, Ga. (April 15, 2024) – The Atlanta Vibe, the city’s newest professional sports team, are the first team in the inaugural season of the Pro Volleyball Federation to clinch a spot in the league’s postseason championship, the organization announced today.
Standing at an impressive 15-4 record to hold the top spot in the league standings, the Vibe have won their last six-straight matches and 11 of their last 12. With five matches remaining in the regular season, Vibe fans only have three more chances to see the postseason-bound team in action at Gas South Arena:
- Tuesday, April 16 at 7:00 p.m. – vs. Grand Rapids Rise
- Sunday, April 28 at 2:00 p.m. – vs. Vegas Thrill for Faith & Family Day
- Thursday, May 2 at 7:00 p.m. – vs. Columbus Fury for Atlanta’s final match of the regular season
Tickets for all three matches are available on AtlantaVibe.com.
The league’s first championship will be held in the CHI Health Center in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The two semifinals matches on Wednesday, May 15 and title match on Saturday, May 18 will air nationally on CBS Sports Network. Tickets for the neutral-site championship matches are officially on sale to the public and available here.
The Vibe head into the 2024 Pro Volleyball Federation Championship looking to bring home Atlanta’s fifth pro sports championship trophy. Winning the event in 2024 would make the Vibe Atlanta’s first team to accomplish the feat in their first year, and only the fourth fully professional team to bring a trophy to the city of Atlanta (the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in 1995 and 2021, Atlanta United won the MLS Cup in 2018, and the Georgia Swarm won the National Lacrosse League Championship in 2017).
The recognition as the first team to clinch a postseason berth in league history is just another “No. 1” for the Atlanta Vibe, who have been making history since they were announced as a market for the first year of the Pro Volleyball Federation back in February 2023. Atlanta’s Leah Edmond was the first player ever signed into the league, and the team claimed the first win in league history with a five-set victory over Omaha on January 24, 2024. Outside hitter Alli Linnehan earned the first Player of the Week award after an outstanding opening week performance to keep the Vibe at the top of the standings.
