Clubs can enter 26-27 National Cup and Shield for free; NVL entries open

Teams wishing to enter into the NVL and National Cup and National Shield for the 2026-27 season are now being invited to officially submit their entries. 

The deadline for this entering league competition is 1st June 2026 and can be completed through each club’s Volleyzone administrator account, following the video guide. The tutorial includes creating a new team roster in the first instance.

Teams should select ‘26-27’ when creating a new roster and check the team roster(s) that have already been made, falling into either the NVL Women (Volleyball England) Women’s Teams or NVL Open (Volleyball England) Men’s Teams categories.

Clubs can now enter the The National Cup and National Shield competitions for 2026-27 too, with a final deadline of 23rd July 2026.

Again, these competitions can be accessed through a Volleyzone administrator account and by following the video guide.

Please note that The National Cup and Shield is free for all current NVL teams to enter using the discount code sent out by Volleyball England via email. 

Fixtures preferences can also now be submitted for the new season by filling out the appropriate form below.

If a club has multiple teams in the NVL, please put in preferences as two individual entries. The links to access each form are listed below:   

The deadline for fixture preference form submissions is 1st June. As the fixture schedule will be constructed from that date, any late entries will unfortunately be missed. 

Note that there will still be the chance to rearrange fixtures before the season starts once the draft fixtures are released. 

The prospective league structure (subject to all teams taking up their places) can be viewed via these links (women’s and men’s), while the Volleyball England calendar for 26-27 can be viewed here.

Please refer to an email sent to each club by Volleyball England for full details on all of the above.
