Notes
a France, although having placed 4th in the 2023 European Championship, has qualified, as Italy, who placed 2nd in the Championship, is the defending champion of the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, so they automatically qualify. This left an extra spot for a European team, which went to the next eligible team.

Format

Pool phase

In the pool phase, the 32 teams will spread across eight pools of four teams playing in a round-robin system. The top two teams from each pool then advance to the direct elimination phase.
