List of FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship qualifications
The FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship qualification is the process that a national men's volleyball team goes through to qualify for the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship finals.
Qualifying tournaments are held within the five FIVB continental zones (Africa, Asia and Oceania, Europe, North and Central America and Caribbean, South America), and are organized by their respective confederations. For each tournament, FIVB decides beforehand the number of places in the finals allocated to each of the continental zones, based on the numbers or relative strength of the confederations' teams.
