The ultimate event is on its way to Adelaide and SEN has you covered with all the information you need for the Beach Volleyball World Championships.

The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships will land in Adelaide at The Drive and Pinky Flat, where more than 4,000 tonnes of sand has transformed the heart of the city for the event which will run from 14–23 November 2025.

It's the biggest beach volleyball event in Australia since the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

The best players in the world will be battling it out, come rain, hail or shine in the centre of the city in what organisers have described as a “festival environment” with not only the beach volleyball on show but live entertainment, food and amazing hospitality opportunities.

Olympians, world champions, the stars or the future and other big names from around with world will be on show across 10 days of competition and five courts.

A record nine Australian teams will take part, including Olympic silver medallist Taliqua Clancy, Paris Olympians Izac Carracher, Mark Nicolaidis, Tom Hodges, Zach Schubert, Commonwealth Games gold medallist Paul Burnett and 12 senior World Championships debutants.

The action kicks off this Friday with plenty of Aussies in action across the competition.

On Thursday, FIVB president Fabio Azevedo visited The Drive and Pinky Flat venue and was amazed by what he saw.

"What a beautiful venue," he said. "I would say one of the best I have ever seen. The athletes will be so happy to perform here. It will be amazing.

"Part of the strategy for us is to have venues like this to show we are ready to go to the next level and beach Volleyball Australia has done a great job.

"We were just with the Brisbane 2032 guys and they see we are showing off the sport now seven years before the Games, but we want to build up and get into Brisbane."

Volleyball Australia National Performance Director Craig Marshall said: “We’re excited to confirm a record nine Australian teams for the 2025 World Championships in Adelaide.

“This World Championships was already shaping up to be a historic moment for our sport in Australia, and now with the most Australians selected to represent, there’s even more on the line.

“Representing your country is an honour that I know our athletes don’t take lightly, and the opportunity to do so on home soil in front of a home crowd, family and friends is one that they are all looking forward to.

“On behalf of Volleyball Australia, congratulations to the 18 athletes selected, and bring on the next 36 days until the World Championships begin,” he said.
