First round
First round was held 3–5 January 2014. With there being 31 teams for this edition, only one 1st Round pool played with the 3 lowest ranked teams (according to the CEV U20 Men European Ranking List), where the 1st and 2nd placed teams qualified to the 2nd Round.

Second round
28 teams competed in seven 2nd Round tournaments consisting of 4 teams. These took place between 25 – 27 April 2014.

The 1st placed teams of each pool qualified directly for the Final Round. The 2nd placed teams of each Pool as well as the 3rd placed team with the best score among the 2nd Round Pools qualified for the 3rd Round.

Following Ukraine's withdrawal from the competition, Pool B featured only three teams. As a result, in order to determine the third placed team with the best score among the 2nd Round Pools, the result of all the matches played with the last placed team wouldn't be taken into account in pools with four participants. This means an updated final standing will be calculated accordingly so that the comparison among all third placed teams was done counting the same number of matches.
