Format[edit]

Preliminary round[edit]

The format of play is the same as edition 2022. The new format will see 16 women's teams competing in pools of 8 teams during the pool phase. The participating teams were ranked from 1st to 16th in the FIVB world rankings after the end of the last edition, and each team will play a total of 12 matches during the preliminary round over 3 weeks, against equally strong opponents – 3 matches against teams ranked 1st to 4th, 3 matches against teams ranked 5th to 8th, 3 matches against teams ranked 9th to 12th, and 3 matches against teams ranked 13th to 16th. The eight best teams will then move into the final knockout phase of the competition. However, this rule is only applied if the finals host country advances as part of this group. In this does not happen, the 7 best teams advance.

Final round[edit]

The VNL Finals will see the top eight teams moving directly to the knockout phase which will consist of eight matches in total: four quarterfinals, two semi-finals and the bronze and gold medal matches.

Final 8 direct elimination formula:

  • The first ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the eighth ranked team, the second ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the seventh ranked team, the third ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the sixth ranked team, the fourth ranked team will play a quarterfinal match against the fifth ranked team.
  • The national team of the hosting territory of the event will have a guaranteed berth for the Final round. If the host nation does not finish in the top eight in Preliminary round, they will replace the eighth-place team and play as the eighth seed.

Pool standing procedure[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 points 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:
    • Sets 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 sets won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets 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 points 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 points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
