Volleyball World is delighted to announce a four-year extension of its exclusive partnership with Globo, the largest communication company in Brazil and Latin America. The agreement will elevate the fan experience by offering a wide array of volleyball and beach volleyball content, accessible on both Globo channels and VBTV, the premier digital hub for all things volleyball.

The extension of the current agreement, until 2028, reflects Globo's longstanding dedication to sports on its free-to-air channel (TV Globo), but particularly evident in its pay channel, sportv. Renowned as the primary destination for volleyball enthusiasts in Brazil, sportv has consistently showcased the most significant national and international championships, fostering a deep passion for the sport, and closely tracking the athletes' journeys.

With this new agreement we are going to transmit over 1000 of FIVB and Volleyball World matches until 2028 – on our various platforms, via free-to-air, pay TV and globoplay (digital).
