The 2022–23 Chinese Men's Volleyball Super League (Chinese: 2022–23年中国男子排球超級联赛) is the 27th season of the Chinese Men's Volleyball Super League, the highest professional volleyball league in China. The season began on 29 October 2022 and concluded on 5 January 2023.[2] [3] [4]

The fourteen teams were divided into two groups. However, the Group A teams' matches, which were originally due to be held in Kaifeng, Henan Province from 29 October to 4 November, were postponed due to grave concerns of epidemic and rescheduled to 23–29 November instead.[5] The matches of Group B in Wuyuan, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province pushed through.[6]

Beijing BAIC Motor defended and crowned as back-to-back champions of the season after defeating Shanghai Bright in the best-of-three finals (2–0).[7] [8]

Season standing procedure

The ranking of the round robin group matches are determined to the following criteria and order:

  1. Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)
  2. In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply: The teams will be ranked by the most points gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the CVL will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Sets quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the points quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Group Stage between the tied teams. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
