A total of 33 Futures tournaments are planned this year
As the Beach Pro Tour 2024 Futures season is about to start this month with the event in Mollymook, Australia, the previously announced calendar has been expanded with the addition of nine confirmed Beach Pro Tour Futures events scheduled for the second half of the year.

After an event scheduled for late June in Baden, Austria, where international beach volleyball competitions have taken place for almost two decades, the Beach Pro Tour will stop in Estonia for the first time in history, with the city of Rakvere set to welcome a double-gender event from 3 to 6 July.
