The annual Volleyball Nations League (VNL) begins this week, and 25 League One Volleyball athletes will represent their countries during the two-month global tournament.
Nearly half (14 of 30) of the United States' long list roster will play for LOVB during the 2026 pro season, including LOVB Founding Athletes Logan Eggleston and Jordyn Poulter. Five LOVB athletes will play for Team Canada this summer, three for Germany, and LOVB athletes may be found on four other countries' VNL long lists.
During each week of pool play, teams will select 14 athletes from their long list who will be eligible to play in that week's matches. After three weeks of pool play - 12 total matches - the top eight teams in the VNL standings will compete in the Final Round.
VNL play begins Wednesday, June 4. Piyanut Pannoy's Thailand is the first to compete as they take on Poland at 3 a.m. Eastern in Beijing. The U.S. National Team takes on Italy at 1 p.m. ET in Rio De Janeiro, and Canada hosts Bulgaria at 7:30 p.m. in Ottawa.
