Чемпионы 32 конференций NCAA прошли квалификацию автоматически. Двадцать две конференции провели турниры, а остальные десять автоматически присудили свои заявки на основании того, что они являются чемпионом регулярного сезона лиги. Турниры не проводились: American Athletic , Atlantic Coast , Big 12 , Big Ten , Big West , Ivy League , Mountain West , Pac-12 , Southeastern и West Coast Conferences . Остальные 32 заявки были распределены на широкой основе. Всего были отобраны только 16 лучших команд.
The first two rounds were held on campus sites (the home court of the seeded team, with the exception of Creighton. Due to basketball events already being scheduled in Omaha, the Bluejays had to head to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to play the first and second round.). Regional semifinals and finals were held at pre-determined sites. In 2015, those sites were hosted by the University of Texas at Austin, University of Northern Iowa, University of Kentucky, and University of San Diego. Unlike the NCAA basketball tournament, where teams cannot be placed into regionals that they host, the selectors in the volleyball tournament were required to place qualifying teams in their 'home' regionals, in order to reduce travel costs.[3]
The columns R32, S16, E8, F4, CM, and NC respectively stand for the Round of 32, Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four, Championship Match, and National Champion.
