Format

First round

In the first round, the 24 teams were spread across four pools of six teams playing in a round-robin system. The top four teams from each pool advanced to the second round.^[11]

Second round

In the second round, the 16 teams were allocated in two pools of eight teams (top teams from first round pools A and D in one and top teams from pools B and C in the other). Once again a round-robin system was used in each pool, teams coming from the same first round pool (therefore already played each other) only played against opponents from a different first round pool. The second round standings took the results in the first and second rounds into account. The top four teams of each group advanced to the final round.

Final round

The top four teams of each pool played in quarterfinals. The winners advanced to semifinals. The semifinals winners advanced to compete for the World Championship title. The losers faced each other in the third place match.

Pools composition

First round

Teams were seeded in the first two positions of each pool following the Serpentine system according to their FIVB World Ranking as per end of 2021. FIVB reserved the right to seed the hosts as heads of pool A and B. The better ranked hosted team (10) allocated to pool A, and another team (12) allocated to pool B. All teams not seeded were drawn to take other available positions in the remaining lines following the World Ranking.^[12]

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.

First round

• All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00).
• The top four teams in each pool qualified for the second phase.^[13]

Notes

1. The event in Arnhem had three volleyball courts installed inside the stadium, allowing three games to be played simultaneously in the first days of competition (where all participating countries were concentrated until September 26, 2022).^[10]
2. The event in Łódź will also have several games played at the Łódź Sports Arena, an auxiliary volleyball court in the same complex as the Łódź Atlas Arena, with a capacity of 3,000 people.
