The Nepal men's national volleyball team represents Nepal in international men's volleyball competitions and friendly matches. It is governed by the Nepal Volleyball Association. Its first international appearance occurred in 1976. The team played 8 games in Pakistan but did not win any. Further development occurred in 1977 when the team went to China and Russia to play and receive coaching. This led to the team's inclusion in the 1978 Asia Games. The team was placed in a group with the UAE, Japan Kuwait and Bangladesh but did not win any games.
The development of future players will be aided by the 2026 inauguration of a men's pro league in Nepal. There will be 6 teams in the League. The Nepal Volleyball Association (NVA) organized the league along with the private marketing company The Kedia Group, which is one of the largest conglomerates in Nepal. The Kedia Group was already involved in sports by its sponsorship of the Tribhuwan Army Football Club.
