The FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League 2026 continues on July 22 with one crucial fixture in Macao, China, as two North American and Asian volleyball powerhouses prepare to renew a storied rivalry.
USA vs China (07:00, Macao, China):
The most recent head-to-head meeting between these sides came in men's competition earlier this month, where the USA claimed a 3-0 sweep over China on July 16. In women's action, however, the last VNL encounter saw China edge past the USA with a 3-2 victory in July 2025. Both teams enter this match on the back of difficult results — the USA have lost their last two matches, falling 3-0 to Poland and 3-1 to Bulgaria, though they showed resilience with a 3-0 win over Brazil prior. China have also lost their last three outings, including a 3-0 defeat to Brazil, a 3-1 loss to Bulgaria, and a 3-0 setback against France, making this a pivotal moment for both sides to find their rhythm.
