The 2016 Asian Men's Volleyball Cup took place in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. The next Asian Championship will be hosted by Chinese Taipei in 2018.

This event should not be confused with the other, more prestigious, continental competition for Asian national volleyball teams, the Asian Volleyball Championship and Asian Volleyball Challenge Cup.
