2026 AVC Girls U18 Volleyball Championship

Thailand was given the hosting rights, with Nakhon Ratchasima as the host city. This will be Thailand's ninth time hosting and second time the city hosts the event.

This tournament served as the qualification tournament for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship. The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2027 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship as the AVC representatives.

Players must be born on or after January 1, 2009. Asia U18 players who have already played once in the FIVB U19 Championship cannot play in AVC U18 Championship as it is a qualification event for the following year of FIVB U19 event. In principle, the players can participate in Asian U18 and FIVB U19 only once.

China are the defending champions after beating Japan 3–0 at the final in Nakhon Pathom.

Pool standing procedure

1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
   • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
   • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
   • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
   • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
   • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
   • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.

Preliminary round

• All times are Thailand Standard Time (UTC+07:00).
