The 2016 NCAA Men's National Collegiate Volleyball Tournament was the 47th annual tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA Division I and Division II men's collegiate indoor volleyball. The single elimination tournament was played at Rec Hall in University Park, Pennsylvania from May 3–7, 2016.[1]
With the creation of the separate NCAA Men's Division III Volleyball Championship in 2012, combined with the completion of the transition of the last Division III institution competing at the National Collegiate level, Rutgers–Newark, to Division III volleyball after the 2014 season, only NCAA men's volleyball programs from Division I and Division II were eligible for this tournament.
For the third straight year, a total of 6 teams were invited:
Penn State's website carried the first round matches with video and no commentary. NCAA.com carried both national semifinals. ESPN2 carried the national championship. BYU Radio provided national radio coverage of one semifinal and the national championship.
