AVP STRIKES HISTORIC MULTI-YEAR BROADCAST AGREEMENTS WITH THE CW NETWORK AND CBS SPORTS

The CW Network to Air Weekly Professional Beach Volleyball Matches from Iconic Venues on Summer Saturdays Starting Memorial Day Weekend

CBS Television Network to Broadcast AVP League Championship Live on Labor Day Weekend: CBS Sports Network Continues to Air Additional Matches Throughout the Season

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA (March 12, 2025) - The AVP, America's only professional beach volleyball league, is today announcing historic national broadcast partnerships with The CW Network and CBS Sports. The CW will broadcast dynamic professional beach volleyball matches live from iconic venues across the country on AVP Saturday Nights from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend from 8:00-10:00pm ET. CBS Television Network will broadcast the 2025 AVP League Championship in a marquee television event on Sunday, August 31 from 2:00-4:00pm ET in addition to matches airing on CBS Sports Network throughout the season.

These partnerships mark a pivotal moment for the AVP and professional beach volleyball, following a surge in popularity sparked by the exciting 2024 Paris Olympics. The AVP League is the only national league dedicated to the sport of beach volleyball, showcasing elite athletes - both men and women - in dynamic, city-based competitions. Eight teams - LA Launch, San Diego Smash, New York Nitro, Brooklyn Blaze, Miami Mayhem, Palm Beach Passion, Dallas Dream, and Austin Aces - will battle through a season from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

"Beach volleyball is one of the most electrifying sports in the world - now, with The CW and CBS Sports, we're giving it the prime-time spotlight it deserves," said AVP Commissioner Robert Corvino. "This isn't just a win for AVP; it's a game-changer for professional beach volleyball itself. Fans are about to experience beach volleyball like never before."

"We are thrilled to once again partner with the AVP and bring the exciting world of professional beach volleyball to our viewers," said Brad Schwartz, President, The CW Network. "Our broadcast of last season's AVP men's and women's open live from Chicago resonated with sports fans, so we jumped at the opportunity to bring the full season to our growing broadcast audience. AVP is a natural fit to join the expanding CW Sports family, which includes the NASCAR Xfinity Series, WWE NXT, ACC football and basketball and Grand Slam Track."

Below is the 2025 broadcast schedule for the AVP. To keep up with all things AVP and exclusive behind-the-scenes content, follow @avpbeach on all social media platforms and visit avp.com.
