As for streaming, the events are being streamed in the United States on Volleyball TV, the home for all FIVB events. More information can be found on the FIVB website.
Unfortunately, this does come at a price. The streaming service is not free and it does have a monthly subscription cost and is not available on any regular television channel.
The premium package is $8 a month and comes with benefits like more events and competitions. The lesser package is for $5 a month. Both packages house the FIVB World Championships, though.
Until then, however, there are plenty of other games to be played. The pool stage will conclude today, with only a few games left at the time of writing:
- Iran vs. Netherlands
- Serbia vs. Tunisia
- Ukraine vs. Puerto Rico
