Pools composition
This was the first Asian Cup which used the new competition format. Following the 2017 AVC Board of Administration’s unanimous decision, the new format saw teams were drawn into three pools up to the total amount of the participating teams. Each team as well as the hosts was assigned into a pool according to their final standing of the 2017 Asian Championship. As the three best ranked teams were drawn in the same pool A, the next best three contested pool B, the next best three contested pool C.{{cite web |url=https://asianvolleyball.net/old-2018/2018/02/new-competition-format-set-for-2018-avc-championships/ |title=New competition format set for 2018 AVC Championships |date=20 February 2018 |publisher=AVC |access-date=27 July 2019}} Final standing of the 2017 Asian Championship are shown in brackets.
