The 15th edition of the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships will take place in 2025. It will be held in Adelaide from 14 to 23 November. It will not only be the first to be held in the Oceania region, but the first ever to be held on an Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC) territory and also the second ever in the southern hemisphere, after Rio de Janeiro 2003 in Brazil.
Adelaide 2025 will be played under the familiar competition format, with 48 teams per gender and with all five continental confederations represented. In each gender, the 48 teams will be split into 12 single round-robin pools of four. The pool winners, the pool runners-up and the best four of the third-placed teams in the pools will progress straight to the sixteenthfinals. The remaining eight third-placed teams in the pools will advance to the first knockout round, dubbed “the lucky loser round”. The four winning teams of that round will also qualify for to the sixteenthfinals. The knockout stage continues in a direct elimination format, further including the eighthfinals, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the two medal matches. A total of 216 matches, or 108 per gender, will be contested during the 2025 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships.
Home to the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, where beach volleyball made its second Olympic appearance, Australia is now an important destination on the Beach Pro Tour. The country staged seven stops during the first three seasons of the Tour, including one Elite16, one Challenge and five Futures events. Now the organization of the FIVB World Championships Adelaide 2025 brings another major international beach volleyball event to the Australian sports calendar on the way to the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

Under the event’s vibrant brand “Beach Volleyball Served Cityside”, the 2025 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championship matches will be held at The Drive and on Adelaide’s northern riverbank. The Drive has been recently redeveloped into an open-air venue, perfect for beach volleyball, other sports, concerts and other events. The main competition area at The Drive houses a covered centre court with an inbuilt grandstand holding 4,200 seats. A thousand cubic metres of sand will be brought in to turn the famous tennis venue into a beach volleyball stadium. The additional competition courts will be situated across the road at Pinky Flat and Torrens Parade Ground, both within six hundred metres of the main competition venue.
Sydney 2000 Olympic gold medallist Kerri Pottharst, Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver medallist Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Paris 2024 Olympian and proud South Australian Zachery Schubert were named Adelaide 2025 Ambassadors.
Defending 2023 world champions Ondrej Perusic & David Schweiner of Czechia and Sara Hughes & Kelly Cheng of the United States, and reigning Paris 2024 Olympic champions David Ahman & Jonatan Hellvig of Sweden and Ana Patricia Ramos & Eduarda Santos Lisboa (Duda) of Brazil are expected to be among the world’s top-calibre beach volleyball stars competing for world honours in November.
