Mens European Volleyball Championship

Season Description
The 2026 Men's European Volleyball Championship, commonly referred to as EuroVolley Men 2026, will be the 34th edition of the biannual continental tournament for men's national volleyball teams, organised by Europe's governing volleyball body, CEV. The tournament will be held between from 9 to 26 September 2026. It will be organised in Bulgaria, Finland, Italy and Romania, marking the fourth consecutive time EuroVolley will be held in four countries, after the multi-country hosting system was first used in 2019. The Italians will host the final in Milan.

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. Sweden will return after a 33 year absence.

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 Men's Volleyball World Cup in Poland.

Poland are the defending champions, having beaten Italy, 3–0, in the final in Rome.
