Fans, followers and most importantly – future players – will be able to watch full pick-by-pick coverage as the 2024 Pro Volleyball Federation draft will be broadcast live and exclusively via the league’s official YouTube Channel.
Slated for Monday, November 25, the second annual collegiate player draft will begin at Noon ET and span five rounds overall. The broadcast will be hosted by Olympian Holly McPeak and former Florida State beach volleyball standout Madison Fitzpatrick and take place on the league channel that had nearly four million views last season.
The Indy Ignite hold the first overall selection, followed by the No. 2 pick from the Atlanta Vibe, who will make that choice after a trade with the Columbus Fury last season. The remainder of the first round will proceed with No. 3 Orlando Valkyries, No. 4 Vegas Thrill, No. 5 San Diego Mojo, No. 6 Atlanta Vibe, No. 7 Grand Rapids Rise and No. 8 Omaha Supernovas.
“We are excited to welcome these new players into Pro Volleyball Federation and thrilled we can present the draft live as it happens,” boasted CEO Jen Spicher. “There are some amazing athletes competing at the college level this season and we can’t wait to see which of them will be invited to join our already outstanding rosters.”
Additional draft order was set for each round by an overall draft lottery held on October 15. Teams will have up to eight minutes to make their picks in the first two rounds, followed by five minutes between selections in rounds 3-5. Each team may draft any eligible college player and will be part of the draft and its broadcast direct from their home city. Draft day trades between teams involving current players, rights to drafted players and/or draft picks are also permitted.
