11 to 13 September 2026
From 10 to 13 September 2026, Kitzbühel once again becomes the centre of Austrian beach volleyball. For the second time, the Austrian Beach Volleyball Championships will take place in the Alps – transforming the Kitzbühel Tennis Stadium into the largest beach volleyball venue in the country.
Under the motto “BEACH. GAMS. GROSS.”, top-level sport meets entertainment and the unique alpine backdrop of Kitzbühel.
The event kicks off on Thursday, 10 September, with the Business Cup powered by Sparkasse Kitzbühel – a special opportunity for regional businesses to become part of the event themselves. From Friday to Sunday, the focus shifts to the national championships, where Austria’s top teams compete for the title. At the same time, the Austrian Deaf Sports Association Championships will also be held.
A spectacular highlight awaits visitors on finals Sunday: skydivers deliver the Austrian flag and the match ball directly into the stadium – an emotional prelude to the final matches.
Alongside top-level beach volleyball, a varied supporting programme creates a true festival atmosphere: sundowner parties, a new indoor afterparty right in the stadium, a traditional Weißwurst celebration on finals day, and special highlights such as the Tracht-themed experience make KitzBeach an event for all generations.
The 2026 Beach Volleyball Championships promise four days full of emotion, sporting excellence and alpine flair – once again turning Kitzbühel into the stage for unforgettable summer moments.
