FIVB Volleyball Mens World Championship

Season Description
The 2025 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship was the 21st staging of the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship, contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). It took place in two cities of the Philippines from 12 to 28 September 2025, and the first edition under the two-year cycles in odd-numbered years with an expanded format featuring 32 teams.

The tournament was the first World Championship hosted in Southeast Asia, and the second of two consecutive World Championships in 2025 held in this region, following the Women's World Championship in Thailand. The Philippines became the second country in Asia to host the World Championship, following Japan. The competition was also the second world senior championship in Olympic team sports to be hosted in the Philippines. Italy were the defending champions, having won their fourth title in 2022, and remains as the reigning world champions after winning the 2025 Championship on 28 September 2025. With the win, Italy equaled a record previously held only by the USSR by becoming world volleyball champions in both the men’s and women’s competitions — the Soviet Union achieved the feat in 1952 and 1960.
