All roads lead to Chicago. The 2026 AVP season is coming to a close, but not before an intense league championship weekend at Oak Street Beach.
What better way to celebrate Labor Day Weekend than with two straight days of beach volleyball? The world's top professional players have worked all summer towards this tournament, and will now get a chance to go for the gold in a picturesque lakefront atmosphere.
Certain teams have already secured semifinal bids based on season rankings, like the Palm Beach Passion, Austin Aces and Miami Mayhem across the men's and women's sides. Every other team will have to prove themselves by starting out in the quarterfinal round.
