The 2026 Men's European Volleyball League was the 22nd edition of the annual Men's European Volleyball League, which featured men's national volleyball teams from European countries who don't take part in the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League. The tournament took place between the 5 June to 11 or 12 July 2026.
This will be the first edition to be used as 2028 Men's European Volleyball Championship qualification after CEV announced the change on 8 November 2025.[1][2]
As the competition was changed to act as European Championship qualification, the golden and silver leagues were merged into one big league. As well as those changes, a final six was introduced to decide the champions. However, since no hosts were found, it was reverted to a home and away final four.
Teams were seeded according to their European Ranking for national teams as of 12 November 2025. Rankings are shown in brackets.[3]
