China and Poland to Host 2025 Volleyball Nations League Finals

Volleyball World has announced the host cities for the 2025 Volleyball Nations League Finals. The Women’s Finals will take place in Lodz, Poland, at the Atlas Arena from July 23–27, while the Men’s Finals are scheduled for July 30 to August 3 in Ningbo, China, at the Ningbo Beilun Sports and Arts Center.

Poland has emerged as a volleyball destination with a strong fanbase and ecosystem. Volleyball World is also familiar with Poland as a host, as the country was the site for the men’s VNL final last year and a Women’s VNL match between Poland and Germany was the second highest sports program on the Polsat network for 2024.

China — which hosted two stops of the women’s tour last year — will welcome back VNL action in 2025. Much like Poland, the VNL was the second highest sports broadcast in China for 2024, with peak viewership reaching 23.6 million. The country has also recently hosted large continental volleyball competitions and qualifying rounds for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
