16 teams took part for the third time since the expansion in 2018. Hosts China automatically qualified as hosts. Qualification took place between May and November 2025, with continental, world tournaments and rankings being used as qualification. Thailand made their debut.

This was the first edition to implement video challenge system.[1] On 11 July, the tournament was suspended for a day after Typhoon Bavi hit Hangzhou. Play commenced the next day with an updated schedule.[2]

The winners secure a ticket to the 2028 Summer Paralympics.

Iran are the defending champions, after beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 3–0 in the 2022 final in Sarajevo.

Host selection

After withdrawing from hosting the 2022 edition, Hangzhou was given the 2026 hosting rights instead.[3] Hangzhou had already been stated as the host on the events section of the World ParaVolley website but it was made official in July 2025. This marks the first time the event is held in the country and the first and second time it will be held in East Asia and Asia respectively.

— Lu Cailiang, president of ParaVolley Asia-Oceania and director of the World ParaVolley Development Centre, Hangzhou.

“After an extensive dialogue with the local organizing committee we are extremely happy to announce the contract signature for the 2026 Sitting Volleyball World Championships for Women and Men.

The Worlds will kick us off into the qualification race for the LA28 Paralympics – so we can expect thrilling matches for the global crown and for the first tickets to LA28 to be awarded.”

— Juergen Schrapp, President of World ParaVolley.

“I am excited that the 2026 World Championships will be held in Hangzhou, China. It’s the first time the World Championships have been held in Asia, the first of our LA28 qualification events, and the first time that the challenge system will be used at this level of event. It is a great facility, so we expect some spectacular matches between our teams that have already been qualifying via their 2025 Zonal Championships.

— Stephen Giugni, Sport Director of World ParaVolley.
