France won the sixth edition of the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League (VNL) with the final round held in Łódź, Poland from 27-30 June.

The 16 teams in the competition were divided into two pools with the first fixtures taking place in Türkiye and Brazil in May. Each nation played 12 matches in the pool phase with all results combined into one ranking table.

The top eight teams qualified for the knockout stages in Łódź with reigning Olympic champions France defeating Japan 3-1 in the final.

World Ranking points in the all-important quest for Paris 2024 quota spots were also up for grabs in the tournament. League-leaders Slovenia, Italy, Argentina and Serbia all obtained quotas through the world rankings with Egypt joining them as the highest-ranked team from a continent not already represented.
