Bulgarian champions Levski learned their path in the qualifications for the Men's Volleyball Champions League for the 2026/27 season.
The "Blues" will start their participation directly from the second qualifying round with an away game against the winner of the pair between Koutio Homes Pafiakos (Paphos, Cyprus) and Mladost (Zagreb, Croatia). The first match will be played between November 3-5, and the return leg in Sofia is scheduled for November 10-12.
Should they succeed against this opponent, Levski will face the winner of the pair between Portuguese Sporting (Lisbon) and Azerbaijani Hilasedici (Baku), who also start their participation directly from the second qualifying round, in the third and final qualifying round.
The winner of this clash will secure a spot in the Champions League group stage.
It is not yet clear which of the two possible groups the winner from Levski's path will be placed in. Should they successfully pass through the qualifications, the Bulgarian champions could find themselves either in the company of Berlin, Galatasaray, and Panathinaikos, or with LUK Lublin, Verona, and Tours, which will become clear after the finalization of the qualification scheme.
