Following the results of the 2025 Nations League, the Netherlands were relegated and replaced by Belgium as the highest-ranked non-VNL team in the FIVB World Rankings.

Poland claimed their second consecutive and third overall VNL title by defeating the United States 3–2 in the final match.[2][3] With the victory, Poland extended their streak of podium finishes in the tournament. In the third-place match, Slovenia defeated Japan 3–1 to secure the bronze medal, marking their first-ever podium finish in the history of the competition.[4][5] Tomasz Fornal of Poland was awarded the tournament's MVP title.[2]

Host selection

In January 2026, the FIVB announced China as the host for the Men's Volleyball Nations League (VNL) Finals. Ningbo was selected to stage the event for the second consecutive year, following its successful hosting of the 2025 edition.[6]

Teams

Qualification

Squads

Main article: 2026 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League squads

Each participating national team submitted a final 30-player roster published via the VNL competition website. For each competition week of the tournament, teams select a match-day lineup consisting of 12 to 14 players from their registered 30-player squad.[8]

Format

Preliminary round

The format of play is generally the same as in the 2022 edition. Each week, six teams will compete during the pool phase. Each team plays 12 matches during the pool stage. During three weeks, each team plays four times in a table that is set up by an algorithm, with all teams playing 12 times in total at the end of the first phase. The eight best teams advance to the quarter-finals, while the last-placed team loses its place to the highest FIVB-ranked team that did not compete this year. The only country that has already qualified for this phase is China for hosting the finals and if it does not finish the first phase among the top eight, the top seven will qualify with the Chinese team being ranked 8th.[9]

Final round

The VNL Finals will see the top eight teams moving directly to the knockout phase, which will consist of eight matches in total: four quarterfinals, two semi-finals, and the bronze and gold medal matches.[9]

Final 8 direct elimination formula:

  • The first ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the eighth ranked team, the second ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the seventh ranked team, the third ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the sixth ranked team, and the fourth ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the fifth ranked team.
  • The national team of the hosting territory of the event will have a guaranteed berth for the Final round. If the host nation team do not finish in the top eight in the Preliminary round, they will replace the eighth place team and play as the eighth seed.

Pool standing procedure

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply, with the teams ranked by the most points 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, the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Sets 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 sets won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets 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 points quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match between the tied teams during the Round Robin Phase. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams will be ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.

Awards

According to the competition regulations, individual prize money totaling $100,000 would be awarded. A total of $70,000 was distributed among the statistical leaders of the preliminary phase ($10,000 per category), while a $30,000 prize will be allocated for the MVP, selected from the gold medal match participants via a combined voting process between fans and designated volleyball experts.[11]

Bulgaria's Aleksandar Nikolov was the only player selected in two statistical categories, leading both total points scored and total attack points. Canada, Ukraine, and Argentina each earned their first individual VNL preliminary awards through Jackson Howe, Dmytro Yanchuk, and Franco Massimino, respectively.[12]
