The NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour is set to debut in Roatán, Honduras, with the seventh stage of the 2026 circuit scheduled for July 10–12. Matches will take place at Tabyana Beach in West Bay, featuring top-tier teams from 13 countries in the men’s division and 12 in the women’s. The event marks a significant expansion for the regional circuit, establishing the island as a new hub for professional beach volleyball competition.
