In 2023, every Men's Volleyball Nations League game will be streamed live on Volleyball World TV. Access to it is provided by volleyballworld.tv for viewers.
The fifth season of the FIVB Men’s Nations League for Volleyball will take place in 2023. Every year, men’s international volleyball tournaments are held. June and July are the dates set aside for the competition. The crucial game will take place at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The general structure has not changed, despite the final list of participating nations changing. The final participant list has undergone a few minor changes, though. Due to the outcomes of the 2022 Challenger Cup and Nations League, Australia was replaced in this edition by debutants Cuba.
The FIVB, the organization that governs the sport, is hosting a fantastic international competition that will feature the best teams in the world. Bulgaria and Iran will square off on July 7, 2023, in the FIVB Men’s Nations League. There are two outstanding teams in this competition. Globally, Bulgaria is ranked 28th, while Iran is ranked 11th. In the 2022 FIVB Men’s Volleyball Nations League, Iran came in seventh and Bulgaria finished in fourteenth place, respectively. Both teams are competing to win the table.
Similar to the earlier version, the play has the same format. By then, there will be 16 men’s teams competing in 8-team pools during the pool phase. During the pool stage, each team plays 12 games. Eight teams will then participate in the competition’s knockout round. These 8 teams will proceed directly to the semifinals’ knockout round. The knockout phase will then consist of 8 matches: 4 quarterfinals, 2 semifinals, and the bronze and gold medal matches.
The quarterfinal games will feature the top-ranked team playing the eighth-ranked team, the second-ranked team playing the seventh-ranked team, the third-seeded team playing the sixth-ranked team, and the fourth-ranked team playing the fifth-ranked team. The national team of the event’s host nation will be guaranteed a spot in the Final round. If the host nation doesn’t finish in the top eight in the first round, it will replace the eighth-place team and compete in the eighth rank.
