The France national men's volleyball team represents the country in international competitions and friendly matches. It was the reigning European Champion in 2015 and is ranked 3rd (as of 1st January 2023) in the FIVB world ranking. France have been competing in the World League ever since the inaugural edition in 1990 and continuously since 1999. In 2006 they finished second to Brazil but had their share of disappointment in subsequent seasons. In 2009 they narrowly missed making the Final Six, falling at the last hurdle to Slovenia. They suffered another setback in 2010 when they again missed the finals and finished 12th.

France competed at the Olympic Games for the fourth time in Rio 2016, finishing ninth. Five years later, they won gold after defeating Russia in Tokyo 2020. In 2015, France won the European Championship and World League (also in 2017).
