The 2024 FIVB Men's Volleyball Challenger Cup was the fifth and last edition of the FIVB Men's Volleyball Challenger Cup, an annual men's international volleyball tournament contested by eight national teams that acts as a qualifier for the FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League. The tournament was held at Linyi Olympic Sports Park Stadium in Linyi, China, between 4 and 7 July 2024.[1][2]

Three teams made their first appearance in the men's Challenger Cup in this edition: Belgium, Croatia and Mexico.[2]

The host China won the title and earned the right to participate in the 2025 Nations League after defeating Belgium in the final.[3][4] Egypt defeated Ukraine in the 3rd place match,[4] but Ukraine still qualified for the 2025 Nations League through FIVB World Ranking.[citation needed]
