USA Volleyball’s Open Nationals Returns to Denver with New Excitement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 23, 2025) — The 2025 USA Volleyball Open National Championship is set to bring a surge of energy and competition to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver from May 23-28.

As the longest-running adult volleyball championship in the United States, “Opens” welcomes athletes of all skill levels, ages and backgrounds for an unforgettable week of high-level play and camaraderie.

This year’s tournament is shaping up to be one of the largest in recent memory, with 531 teams registered—an increase of more than 100 teams from 2024. The growth reflects the continued strength and appeal of adult volleyball across the country.

One of the most exciting developments in 2025 is the return of the prestigious Open Division, which features elite-level competition and a $10,000 prize purse to be split among the top three finishers in both the men’s and women’s divisions.

Winners in all divisions will receive free entry into the 2026 USA Volleyball Open National Championship, which is scheduled for May 22-27 in Orlando, Florida.

First held in 1928, the Open National Championship remains the premier event for adult volleyball athletes in the United States, combining top-tier competition with the inclusive and spirited atmosphere that makes the event a highlight of the volleyball calendar.
