Shanghai will host the 2026 Shanghai Volleyball Future Star Championship from June 22 to 28 at Luwan Indoor Stadium with eight international women's youth teams.

A draw ceremony earlier this week placed the eight teams, including China's national youth squad and a Shanghai youth team, into two groups.

They will play round-robin and playoff rounds before two teams advance to the final.
