Womens European Volleyball Championship

Season Description
The 2026 Women's European Volleyball Championship, commonly referred to as EuroVolley Women 2026 (also known as the CEV Trendyol EuroVolley 2026 for sponsorship reasons), will be the 34th edition of the biennial continental tournament for women's national volleyball teams, organised by Europe's governing volleyball body, CEV. The tournament will be held between from 21 August to 6 September 2026. It will be organised in Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Sweden and Turkey, marking the fourth consecutive time EuroVolley will be held in four countries, after the multi-country hosting system was first used in 2019. Turkey will host the final in Istanbul.

24 teams will participate for the fourth time as well. Qualification took place in August 2024 and 2025 to decide the final 12 spots. The four co-hosts qualified automatically. Montenegro will make their debut, while Austria and Latvia return after long absences.

After FIVB's calendar changes starting 2025, this will be the first European Championship since 1958 to be held in an even-numbered year.

The winner qualifies for the Volleyball tournament at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The top three finishers will also qualify for the 2027 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Cup in Canada and United States.

Turkey are the defending champions, having beaten Serbia 3–2 in the final in Brussels.
