Zimbabwe's men's volleyball team won the 2026 CAVB Zone VI Nations Championships, held in Harare from 8 to 13 June. The Zimbabwe team beat Zambia by three sets to two in a close final, with the deciding set ending 16–14.

FIVB recorded the match scores as 20–25, 25–20, 19–25, 29–27 and 16–14. The win qualified Zimbabwe for the 2026 CAVB African Nations Championship. This was a regional title and qualification, not a claim that Zimbabwe had won the continental championship.
