The 2008 Men's European Volleyball League was the fifth edition of the annual Men's Volleyball Tournament, played by nine European countries from June 13 to July 13, 2008. The Final Four was held in Bursa, Turkey from July 19 to July 20.

For the first time Great Britain joined the competition and it will also enter it as a unified team as a result of a FIVB decision which allows the United Kingdom to play as a unified team in order to prepare for the next 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Austria and Belarus also joined the European League for the first time.

The tournament was won by Slovakia, defeating the Netherlands by 3–1 in the finals.
