The CEV has homologated 27 national events / tours - whose winners will secure the right to contest the Preliminary Phase of the CEV Beach Volley European Cup 2026. 

The CEV has homologated two events organised by Zonal Associations - namely BVA and WEVZA, whose winners will also qualify for the Preliminary Phase of the CEV Beach Volley European Cup 2026. Should the winner of a zonal event coincide with the winner of a domestic national competition, the runners-up from the domestic event organised in that country will join the zonal winners in the Preliminary Phase.
