Well, well, well… another BIG name stepping into beach volleyball. 👀🏐
First Corona. Now Delta.
You have to believe brands are looking ahead to LA28 and recognizing what beach volleyball has always had: an incredible product, a passionate fan base, and one of the biggest stages of any sport during the Olympics.
And this is exactly the kind of momentum the AVP needs.
Big-name sponsors can mean:
• More investment in the Tour
• More legacy stops and bigger events
• Better broadcast and streaming coverage
• Bigger opportunities for the athletes
• More exposure to casual sports fans
• A stronger runway into the 2028 Olympics
Beach volleyball gets MASSIVE attention every four years. The opportunity now is to turn that Olympic attention into sustained growth for the sport here in the U.S.
Corona + Delta feels like more than a couple sponsorship announcements. Hopefully, it’s a sign that major brands see where this thing can go.
Keep building the Tour. Keep bringing in major partners. Keep putting the best players in the world on the biggest beaches and stages.
LA28 is coming. Let’s make sure beach volleyball is ready to capitalize on it. 🤙🏼❤️🏐
Official Partnership Announcement
We are excited to announce Delta as an official partner of the AVP.

Well, well, well… this could be awesome. 👀
Definitely reminiscent of times past, and hopefully a sign of big things ahead for the AVP Tour. Corona and beach volleyball just feel right together.
With the 2028 Olympic run really starting to heat up next season, I’d love to see the AVP lean even harder into what made the tour special:
• More legacy stops
• More big-event tournament coverage
• More opportunities to showcase the best players in the sport on a bigger stage
• More of that classic AVP beach atmosphere
The League? It’s OK. I still don’t love it, but we’ll see where it goes.
Give me the Tour. Give me the iconic beaches. Give me packed stadium courts and big-time coverage.
This partnership feels like a step in the right direction. Love seeing Corona, and hopefully more major brands like them, investing in our sport. 🤙🏼❤️🏐
Bring on 2027. The road to LA28 is coming.
Welcome, Corona!
We are excited to announce Corona as an official partner of AVP Beach Volleyball.
