The 2025 National Collegiate Beach Volleyball Championship on May 2-4 will be relocated to Gulf Shores, Alabama. Originally, the championship was scheduled to be played in Huntington Beach, California.
The decision to move the championship was a mutual one between the NCAA and the Orange County Sports Commission, which collaborated with host school Long Beach State to make Huntington Beach’s championship host bid.
“In light of the ongoing recovery efforts approximately 50 miles up north in Los Angeles County, our focus is currently on ensuring hotel rooms and other resources remain focused on supporting those in need,” Orange County Sports Commission Executive Director Anthony Brenneman said.
Gulf Shores has hosted the event since the inaugural tournament in 2016. Details on ticket information will be provided later.
“We are fortunate to have an alternative site in Gulf Shores that beach volleyball student-athletes, coaches and fans are familiar with,” said Ashley Armstrong, NCAA Women’s Beach Volleyball Committee chair and deputy athletics director at Loyola Marymount University. “Relocating the championship is in the best interest for all involved.”
Huntington Beach is still scheduled to host the 2026 championship.
