ARLINGTON, TX – December 6, 2022 – Volleyball’s flagship event returns in 2023 when Volleyball Nations League (VNL) arrives in four continents including North America with two events in the United States. Eight elite women’s teams will battle in the VNL finals in Arlington, Texas July 12-16, 2023 while the men’s finals take place July 19-23, 2023 at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. Anaheim, California is set to host the men’s preliminaries July 4-9, 2023.
VNL promises to bring the best live sport to some of volleyball’s most passionate and biggest communities including Arlington in Texas. The Lone Star State has produced some of the greatest women’s volleyball players of all time including Olympians Destinee Hooker and Demetria Sance, and Big 12 Player of the Year Chiaka Ogbogu who went on to play for the U.S. National team.
All matches will be broadcast live and on-demand on Volleyball TV as well as domestic broadcasters, across the globe. “Fans watching from around the world will get a unique taste of the volleyball atmosphere that the United States and Poland have to offer, and we can’t wait to see which teams make it to the finals in these great arenas next year,” says Volleyball World CEO Finn Taylor. “Poland and the United States are fanatical for the sport so we could not think of better locations to host the finals in 2023.”
International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) President Dr Ary S. Graça F° says, “The VNL continues to wow fans across the globe with a diverse and strong line-up of hosts, and this is testament to the global popularity of our sport. Both Poland and the USA are leading volleyball nations with passionate fans, and incredible stories are ready to be told. Can the Poland men’s team win its first-ever VNL gold, and can the USA women’s team claim its fourth title on home soil? With so many strong national teams across the world, we can all look forward to intense, fierce and exceptional volleyball action during next year’s VNL.”
