Volleyball World and Saran Media Group today announce an eight-year extension of their media rights partnership in Türkiye, securing comprehensive broadcast coverage of the sport’s leading global volleyball and beach volleyball competitions through to 2032.
The renewed agreement reinforces a successful long-term collaboration and reflects the continued strength and growth of volleyball in one of the sport’s most established markets. Under the new deal, Saran will continue to hold exclusive media rights in Türkiye for Volleyball World’s premier indoor competitions, including the FIVB Volleyball World Championships, Volleyball Nations League and FIVB Club World Championships, for both men and women.
The extension also marks a new phase in the partnership with the addition of major beach volleyball properties. For the first time, the agreement includes the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships, alongside Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Elite16 events. This expansion secures consistent, long-term broadcast exposure for elite beach volleyball in Türkiye and reflects the growing appeal of the discipline across the market.

The extended partnership ensures that fans across the country will continue to have access to the sport’s biggest international moments across both indoor and beach volleyball.
Felix von Knorring, Chief Media Officer at Volleyball World, said: “Türkiye is one of the most established and passionate volleyball markets in the world, particularly for the women’s game, and our long-standing partnership with Saran has played an important role in reaching and engaging that audience. This long-term extension reflects both the importance of the territory and our shared ambition to continue growing the sport. The addition of beach volleyball is an important step, ensuring consistent visibility for the discipline and strengthening our overall presence in the market for the years ahead.”
