The CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 will be held in Germany for five days, starting at the end of July. Given that the European Beach Volleyball Championship, a unisex annual sport competition for national teams in the sport of beach volleyball, is organized by the governing body for the sport, CEV (the European volleyball federation), it’s clear without further explanation that the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 is one of several major European beach volleyball competitions scheduled for this year.

Where and When Will the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 Be Held?

The CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from July 30 to August 3. The draw will consist of 32 men’s and 32 women’s teams, which will try to get the honors in front of the crowd at the Rochusclub Düsseldorfer Tennisclub.

The CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 features a substantial prize pool. The total prize money is €100,000 per gender, just like it was the case in 2024. While the exact distribution for the 2025 edition hasn’t been published yet, historically the champions take the lion’s share—often around 30–40% of the total purse. That suggests each winning pair will likely earn between €15,000 to €20,000 per gender.

Which Teams Will Take Part in the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025?

As said, 32 teams, i.e., pairs, per gender will show up in Düsseldorf representing various nations, with some national federations represented with more than one pair.

The main route into the event is through the CEV Entry Ranking, plus wild cards (three per gender). Also, as Germany is hosting, its federation receives automatic entries for its national pairs. Each player’s performance in up to six international events from August 19, 2024, onward is considered. Rankings are updated every Monday. The entries are submitted based on the ranking cutoff, which typically occurs in mid-June. So, it will occur in a matter of days now. When total registered pairs for a gender exceed the 32-team main draw size, a qualifying tournament is held a day before the main event (July 29, 2025) to determine the final entries.

Features of the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025

Set with 32 teams per gender, the main draw is structured in two phases: pool play, which is a preliminary round, and then elimination rounds, i.e., the knockout stage.

The round-robin preliminary round (July 30–31) will see eight pools of four teams each. The top three teams from each pool (24 teams total) advance to the knockout stage (August 1–3), which is a single-elimination bracket starting with the round of 24, followed by the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and medal matches. All matches follow standard FIVB/CEV rules: best-of-three sets: first two sets to 21 points, deciding set to 15 points, win by two.

Who’ll Win the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025?

Even though the entry list for the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025 hasn’t started to fill, some players are guaranteed to play in Düsseldorf, and among them are the biggest favorites for the title, as pairs, of course. German pairs (Müller/Tillmann in women’s competition and Ehlers/Wickler in men’s competition) are the front-runners, buoyed by recent Euro success and home advantage. Swiss women’s duos (Brunner/Hüberli, Verge‑Depre/Mäder) have the experience and pedigree to challenge strongly. The best-ranked Latvian and Dutch pairs—particularly on the men’s side—are also among the strongest threats.

Top-tier beach volleyball action, such as at the CEV EuroBeachVolley 2025, leads to exciting betting opportunities. This tournament offers thrilling matchups for fans and bettors alike on the best bookmakers in Europe, showcasing rising and elite beach volleyball teams from Europe.

Initially, in 1993, only men competed, but the following year, a separate championship was held for women. The events have been combined since 1995. Norway has won the most gold medals and medals overall in men’s competition: six and 16, respectively. Germany is the most successful nation in women’s competition: nine gold medals and 26 medals in total.
