    Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's tournament was held at a neutral venue.

Tiebreaker

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.

League round

  • All times are local.

Notes:
  1. [a]
    Portugal advanced to the final after the results against the worst-ranked team were not counted towards the final standings.[8]
  2. [b]
    Right before the tournament started, Bosnia and Herzegovina abruptly withdrew. All games involving Bosnia and Herzegovina were deemed as 3–0 forfeit wins for the opposing team.

Due to the last-minute withdrawal of Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly before the start of the competition, a provision was added to the rules governing this year’s European Silver League. To compare the results achieved by the participating teams according to the same number of matches (5) and compile a final standing of the League Round accordingly, it was decided to remove the results from the matches played with the lowest-ranked opponent for each of the participating teams. Based on these criteria, the two teams due to contest the final matches are Finland and Portugal.
