Following the results of the 2023 Nations League and the 2023 Challenger Cup, China were replaced by debutants Turkey in this edition.

France won their second VNL title after a four-set match against Japan in the final. It was Japan's first silver medal in 47 years. Finals host Poland swept Slovenia in the third place match to bag their third bronze medal. Antoine Brizard from France was named the MVP of the tournament.

Qualification

Sixteen teams qualified for the competition. Ten of them qualified as core teams, which cannot face relegation, with the other six teams selected as the challenger teams that could be relegated from the tournament. Turkey replaced China after winning the 2023 Challenger Cup. In a change of format for the next edition, none of the current teams will be relegated, and from the year 2025 onwards the competition will expand to 18 teams. The two extra spots will be from the team that wins the 2024 Challenger Cup and the best FIVB ranked team who are not in this year event.

Pool standing procedure

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply, with the teams ranked by the most points gained per match as follows:
  3. *Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
  4. *Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
  5. *Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  6. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
  7. *Sets quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.
  8. *Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
  9. *If the tie persists based on the points quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match between the tied teams during the Round Robin Phase. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams will be ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
