The FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League is an annual international volleyball competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. The first tournament took place between May and July 2018, with the final taking place in Lille, France. Russia won the inaugural edition, defeating France in the final.

In July 2018, the FIVB announced that USA would host the next three editions of the men's Volleyball Nations League Finals, from 2019–2021‌. However, the host selection was changed due to a scheduling conflict with the U.S. Independence Day. The FIVB then confirmed Turin, Italy as the new host of the final stage of 2020 VNL, but on 13 March 2020 the FIVB decided to postpone the Nations League until after the 2020 Summer Olympics due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the FIVB canceled the 2020 edition and confirmed Italy as the host of the final stage of the 2021 VNL.

In February 2024, the FIVB announced that the competition will be expand to 18 teams from the 2025 edition onwards while the core and challenge teams' status will be abolished with the reformed format.

The creation of the tournament was announced in October 2017 (alongside with the announcement of the Challenger Cup) as a joint project between the FIVB, the IMG and 21 national federations. The Nations League replaced the World League, a former annual men's international event that ran between 1990 and 2017.

A corresponding tournament for women's national teams is the FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League.

History

Adoption

In June 2017, Argentinian website Voley Plus reported that the FIVB would drastically change the format for both the 2018 World League and World Grand Prix. According to the reports, starting from 2018, the World League and the World Grand Prix would have only one Group (no more Groups 1, 2 and 3) of 16 national teams.

In October 2017, the FIVB announced, via a press release, the creation of the men's and women's Volleyball Nations League, confirming the tournaments as a replacement for the World League and World Grand Prix.

According to the press release, the goal of the tournament would be to revolutionize volleyball competitions, making it one of the most important events in the history of the sport, presenting volleyball in a way that has never been experienced before, building on the innovative sports presentation on display at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and bringing the action closer to fans around the world. By pushing the boundaries of technology, innovation and digital broadcasting, spectators at home would witness new and diverse angles, showcasing the world class athleticism of each nation's best players.

For the very first time, the FIVB, in collaboration with the sports marketing company IMG, would take complete control of content production, maximizing quality and promoting a compelling on-court narrative, easier for fans to engage with and understand.

FIVB Nations League i volleyball er en årlig internasjonal volleyballturnering for både kvinner og menn. Turneringen ble etablert i 2018 av Det internasjonale volleyballforbundet (FIVB) for å erstatte tidligere World League og World Grand Prix.

Nations League spilles i flere divisjoner, med de beste lagene som konkurrerer i VNL Final Round. I 2023 vil VNL Final Round for kvinner spilles i Ankara, Tyrkia, mens VNL Final Round for menn spilles i Gdańsk, Polen.

Nations League gir muligheter for nasjonale volleyballandslag til å konkurrere mot hverandre regelmessig i løpet av sesongen. Turneringen har også blitt brukt som et kvalifiseringssystem for andre internasjonale volleyballturneringer, som VM og OL.
