The AVP just made a power move.
Locked and loaded with brand-new broadcast deals, The CW Network and CBS Sports are giving beach volleyball the spotlight it deserves. Starting Memorial Day weekend, The CW will air matches live from iconic venues every Saturday night all summer long. And CBS? They’re bringing the heat with the 2025 AVP League Championship live on Labor Day weekend.
The CW's Bold Move
The CW isn't playing around. They’re bringing beach volleyball to prime time from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Brad Schwartz, President of The CW Network, said it best: "We jumped at the opportunity to bring the full season to our growing broadcast audience." This partnership is no joke. The CW’s lineup now includes AVP alongside NASCAR, WWE NXT, and more. AVP isn't just joining the family. It's taking over.
CBS's Championship Play
CBS is all in. On Sunday, August 31, the 2025 AVP League Championship will air live, showing the world what beach volleyball is all about. Robert Corvino, AVP Commissioner, said, "This isn’t just a win for AVP; it’s a game-changer for professional beach volleyball itself." The AVP is stepping up, backed by a surge in popularity from the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Teams to Watch
Eight teams, one goal: domination. From the LA Launch to the Austin Aces, this season's battle is set. With the spotlight on them, these teams are ready to show the world what they’re made of. Expect dynamic, city-based competitions with elite athletes going all out.
The Impact
Let's be real. This is big time. AVP's partnership with The CW and CBS is more than a broadcast deal. It's a statement. Beach volleyball is ready for its close-up, and fans are about to experience it like never before. The prime-time stage is set.
And from there… it was over.
