The 2024 Men's European Volleyball League is the 20th edition of the annual Men's European Volleyball League, which features women's national volleyball teams from 16 European countries. This season will undergo a new format. The winner and the runner-up will qualify for the 2024 Challenger Cup.

The tournament has two divisions: the Golden League, which featured 12 teams, and the Silver League, which featured 4 teams.

Format change[edit]

The CEV announced a change to the format starting this season after a decision was made by the CEV Board of Administration on 16 September 2023 in Rome. Starting this season, the CEV will adjust a format similar to the FIVB Volleyball Nations League.[1][2][3] This format change was made with consultation with the participating nations to reduce costs.

Pools composition[edit]

Teams were seeded according to their European Ranking for national teams as of 9 October 2023. Rankings are shown in brackets.[2][3]

Tiebreaker[edit]

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
