LBS Financial Credit Union Pyramid, home to Long Beach State's Division I athletics including the defending national champions in men's volleyball, is one of the most storied and unique venues in collegiate athletics and a natural home for the LOVB Championship.
"The LOVB Championship at LBS Financial Credit Union Pyramid is everything this league was built toward. A world-class venue, a community that lives and breathes volleyball, and a stage that honors the athletes who have given everything to compete at this level," said LOVB Pro Commissioner Sandra Idehen.

We cannot wait to watch history be made at the Pyramid."

"Long Beach has long been a home for volleyball excellence, from NCAA National Champions at Long Beach State to our role as a host city for Olympic beach volleyball in 2028," said Mayor Rex Richardson. "The LOVB Championship at the LBS Financial Credit Union Pyramid is a continuation of that legacy, bringing elite competition to a city that knows, celebrates, and elevates the sport."
