The 2027 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Cup is the 22nd staging of the FIVB Men's Volleyball World Cup, contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB). It will be held in Poland for the fourth time in the competitions' history from 10 to 26 September 2027, and the second edition under the two-year cycles in odd-numbered years with an expanded format featuring 32 teams.

This will be the first edition since the tournament was rebranded the World Cup, after the FIVB adopted the name on 5 March 2026.[2]

Italy are the two-time defending champions.

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.[3] In September 2023, the Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki, announced that Poland won the hosting rights.[4] 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.[5][6]

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.[7]
