The tournament will take place in Tianjin, China, from August 21st to August 30th, 2026.

Previously, AVC also announced that the Vietnamese women's volleyball team is among the 12 teams participating in the 2026 AVC Cup held in the Philippines. Compared to the 2026 Asian Championship, the AVC Cup is a lower-ranked tournament but offers a chance for Coach Tuan Kiet's team to gain points on the world rankings. The 2026 AVC Cup will take place from June 6th to June 14th, 2026.
