Sunday brings us a blockbuster at the 2026 Volleyball Nations League, with the USA set to face Poland in the grand final at Beilun Gymnasium in Ningbo. The White and Reds beat this opponent in this competition less than two weeks ago, and our prediction is that they will retain the title. 

After finishing fifth in the group stage of this competition with eight wins in their 12 matches, the USA booked their spot in this year’s final with victories over Italy and Japan in the knockout stages.

Matthew Anderson and Jake Hanes both notched up 24 points apiece in the victory over Japan on Saturday. Hanes is the team’s highest scorer in this competition with 202 points in 14 games. 

The USA have now won 16 of their last 20 matches in all competitions but have not beaten their upcoming opponents since the 2023 edition of this tournament. 

Meanwhile, since returning to their full-strength squad in Week 2, Poland have been absolutely flying. They beat Ukraine 3-1 in the quarter-final and demolished Slovenia in straight sets in the semis. 

Wilfredo Leon was the standout performer for the White and Reds in their last match with 16 points. Bartlomiej Boladz leads the team overall with 174 points in the competition, including 20 blocks. 

Poland are now on a stunning 12-match win streak and have only dropped two sets in their last six games ahead of this one.
