The 2026 AVCA Beach National Championships will bring 64 collegiate pairs to Huntsville, Alabama, Nov. 6-8, for a single-elimination tournament. UCLA, the reigning NCAA beach volleyball champion, is sending two pairs, as are Boise State; Oregon, UT Martin and Hawai‘i will each be represented by a qualifying duo. Oregon’s Gamache and Snipes made program history as its first pair to earn a championship bid, while UT Martin’s Bryant and McGee qualified by placing third at the AVCA Central Tournament. The pairs advanced through qualifying events or other selection routes, and the tournament’s later-round matches will receive ESPN+ coverage, with some additional matches available on the AVCA YouTube channel.
