The FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League is an annual international volleyball competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Federation Internationale de Volleyball, the sport's global governing body. The first tournament was played between May and July 2018 with the final in Lille, France, and Russia won it by beating France in the final. The creation of the tournament was announced in October 2017 as a joint project between the FIVB, IMG and 21 national federations, alongside the Challenger Cup, and it replaced the World League, which had run from 1990 to 2017. The 2020 edition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic and Italy hosted the 2021 edition. In February 2024 the FIVB announced that the league would expand to 18 teams from 2025 and abolish the core and challenge team status. A corresponding tournament exists for women's national teams.
