The 2023 Lindenwood Lions men's volleyball team represents Lindenwood University in the 2023 NCAA Division I & II men's volleyball season. The Lions, led by fifth year head coach Joe Kosciw, play their home games at Robert F. Hyland Arena.[2] The Lions are members of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and were picked to finish seventh in the MIVA preseason poll.[3] Because D1 and D2 men's volleyball are combined, Lindenwood's move to D1's OVC doesn't affect the men's volleyball program, and they are eligible for all postseason play.[4]
