Eight matches fill the schedule as the CEV EuroVolley Men 2026 rolls through four host cities on September 15, with action stretching from midnight fixtures in Cluj-Napoca and Tampere through an evening slate that builds toward a headline clash in Sofia.
Romania vs Türkiye (00:00, BTarena, Cluj-Napoca, Romania):
Romania arrive at this fixture on the back of a five-set heartbreak against Germany, having also taken a 3-1 win over Switzerland before falling 1-3 to Latvia earlier in the tournament. Türkiye, meanwhile, closed out a 3-0 sweep of Switzerland most recently, though that result followed a straight-sets loss to France and a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Germany. The two sides meet in Cluj-Napoca with contrasting recent rhythms, Romania having gone the distance in their last outing while Türkiye found a clean sweep.
Estonia vs Belgium (00:00, Nokia Arena, Tampere, Finland):
Estonia come into this match after a 0-3 defeat to Denmark, which itself followed a 1-3 loss to Serbia. Belgium's run has been tighter, with a five-set loss to Finland preceding a 3-1 victory over the Netherlands. Both teams have had recent results go against them, and their paths cross in Tampere with each looking to that most recent form line.
Slovenia vs Greece (02:00, PalaPanini, Modena, Italy):
Slovenia have been in commanding form, posting a 3-0 win over Sweden and a 3-0 sweep of Slovakia in their last two outings. Greece, by contrast, are coming off a 0-3 loss to Italy and a 3-1 defeat to Czechia. The two teams meet in Modena with Slovenia's recent scorelines reading considerably more favorably than Greece's.
North Macedonia vs Portugal (20:00, Arena 8888, Sofia, Bulgaria):
North Macedonia enter this match having dropped a 0-3 result to Ukraine and a 0-3 result to Bulgaria in their two most recent outings. Portugal's recent run includes a five-set loss to Israel, a 0-3 defeat to Bulgaria, and a 0-3 loss to Poland. Both teams arrive in Sofia on the back of recent straight-sets defeats, setting up an evening fixture between two sides searching for a change in fortune.
Greece vs Sweden (21:00, PalaPanini, Modena, Italy):
Greece play their second match of the day in Modena, having already faced Slovenia earlier, and come in with a 0-3 loss to Italy and a 3-1 defeat to Czechia behind them. Sweden's recent form shows a 0-3 loss to Slovenia, a five-set defeat to Czechia, and a 0-3 loss to Italy. Both sides have faced tough recent opposition, and their meeting at PalaPanini sees two teams whose recent results have been similarly difficult.
Latvia vs Switzerland (21:00, BTarena, Cluj-Napoca, Romania):
Latvia come into this fixture off a 0-3 loss to Germany, though they had previously beaten Romania 3-1. Switzerland have endured a tougher stretch, falling 0-3 to Türkiye, 1-3 to Romania, and 0-3 to France in their last three matches. The two meet in Cluj-Napoca with Latvia's recent record showing one win in their last two, while Switzerland are still seeking a result from their recent run.
Belgium vs Denmark (21:00, Nokia Arena, Tampere, Finland):
Belgium play their second match of the day in Tampere, having already met Estonia, and arrive with a five-set loss to Finland and a 3-1 win over the Netherlands in their recent record. Denmark, meanwhile, have been in strong form with a 3-0 win over Estonia and a 3-0 win over the Netherlands, though they also suffered a 0-3 loss to Finland. The two sides meet in Tampere with Denmark's recent results including two clean sweeps.
Poland vs Ukraine (23:00, Arena 8888, Sofia, Bulgaria):
The highlight match of the day sees Poland and Ukraine meet in Sofia, with a head-to-head history that has gone Poland's way in three recent meetings: a 3-1 Poland win at the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League 2026 on July 30, a 3-2 Poland win on June 14, and a 3-0 Poland win in the women's competition on June 18. Poland come into the match having swept Israel 3-0 and Portugal 3-0 in their last two EuroVolley outings, while Ukraine have won three straight, beating Bulgaria 3-1, North Macedonia 3-0, and Israel 3-1. Both teams arrive in Sofia on winning runs, with the head-to-head record adding another layer to the fixture.
