Host selection
The bidding procedure to host the 2025 and 2027 FIVB World Championships began in August 2023. National federations had until 31 August 2023 to register interest.[2] In September 2023, the Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki, announced that Poland won the hosting rights.[3] However, it took two years for the FIVB to officially confirm Poland as hosts, with it becoming official on 26 September 2025 at FIVB meeting in Manila.[4][5]
Qualification
The host country Poland qualified for the competition as well as the defending champions Italy. The top three teams from each of the 2026 Continental Championships secured qualification. The final 15 places belonged to top 15 teams as per FIVB World Ranking who had not yet qualified.[6]
