Year Two of Landmark Multi-Year Partnerships to Deliver More Than 40 Hours of Live Coverage Throughout the 2026 Season
The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), the premier professional beach volleyball league, today announced its 2026 national broadcast schedule across CBS Sports and The CW Network as part of year two of the league’s landmark multi-year media partnerships. New for the 2026 season, AVP events airing on The CW Network later this summer will also stream live within the ESPN app for ESPN Unlimited plan subscribers, further expanding the league’s reach and accessibility for fans nationwide.
The 2026 season will feature more than 40 hours of live coverage across broadcast, cable television and streaming, bringing the sport’s biggest stars and most iconic events to fans across the country. Following a breakout 2025 season that significantly expanded the league’s national presence through weekly broadcast windows and marquee championship coverage, the AVP enters 2026 with more momentum than ever before.
“The 2026 AVP season marks a major step forward for the league and the continued growth of professional beach volleyball,” said AVP Commissioner and COO Robert Corvino. “We’re proud to continue building alongside incredible partners like CBS Sports, The CW, and now ESPN as we bring the sport to more fans than ever before. These partnerships reflect the tremendous momentum behind beach volleyball and our shared commitment to delivering world-class competition and entertainment on the biggest stages, not only for fans to enjoy in person but also at home or while on the go.”
The CW Network will once again air live AVP professional beach volleyball throughout the summer from premier venues across the country, with ESPN platforms streaming The CW broadcasts later this summer to provide fans with expanded digital access. CBS Sports will continue to televise key matches throughout the season, across CBS, CBS Sports Network, and Paramount+.
