About this episode

The episode discusses playoff matchups in volleyball leagues, predicts league outcomes, and explores new FIVB rule changes.

In this episode of Volley Talk, we take a look at the playoff matchups happening in the Italian leagues and Champions League. We get out our crystal balls to predict how various leagues will finish their regular seasons and playoffs. Will we be correct? The FIVB officially released the rule changes they will be testing in the 2026 VNL (no libero changes, thankfully!), and we dive into the LOVB double sub situation and wonder... which national team has the strongest double sub (other than Italy, of course). Join our MLV fantasy league for the 2026 season!! Go to playvoli.com/volleytalk to participate. Download the app on iOS or Android to get in on the action!
