What is the Merry Christmas Beachbol
The Merry Christmas Beachbol 2026 is the Christmas beach volleyball event organised by BeachBol at Malvarrosa beach. Open to players of all levels, this mixed-format tournament takes place on 12 and 13 December, coinciding with the end of the organisation’s annual calendar. According to BeachBol, the tournament has become a festive fixture that combines sport and atmosphere on the sand during the holiday season.
Categories and format
The tournament features two main categories:
- Silver: after the group stage, it splits into Gold and Silver to adjust competition levels.
- Bronze: aimed at teams with less experience or those looking for a more relaxed environment.
No need to be a professional: BeachBol emphasises that the event is designed for everyone, from amateurs to federated players, in an accessible setting with high ecological value.
How to take part
Registrations are now open. BeachBol manages deadlines via its official website and social media. The tournament does not require a federation licence for non-competitive categories, though participants are advised to check the specific rules in the BeachBol summer circuit regulations.
Schedule and duration
The event runs all day on 12 and 13 December. BeachBol does not specify exact match start or end times but typically organises the days from morning until sunset, with breaks for meals and rest. Match duration depends on the number of registered teams and the competition system (group stage and knockouts).
