As the college men's volleyball season continues, No. 4 Hawaii gets ready to host No. 3 UC Irvine for one of the biggest showdowns of the year. 

Hawaii (13-1) has been an undeniable force through the first half of the season, dropping its only loss to No. 8 Stanford. The Rainbow Warriors look poised to challenge UC Irvine, but their squad is a little less battle-tested with ranked opponents.

Meanwhile, UC Irvine (10-2) rolled past No. 5 USC, No. 8 Stanford and No. 6 BYU, but most recently fell to No. 2 UCLA in back-to-back matches. Despite the Anteaters hitting a collective .406 on the night, the Bruins played an exceptionally clean game that UC Irvine couldn't beat. 

This weekend's duo of matches will have major implications for the national rankings — don't miss out on the action. 

Here's everything you need to know about Hawaii vs. UC Irvine, including TV channel and streaming options for both highly-anticipated matchups.
