This season features nine teams, including two expansion teams. The Valenzuela Classy was first announced on July 10, 2024[4] while the Quezon Tangerines were announced two weeks later on July 24.[5] [6] Of the eight teams that took part in the inaugural season, the Nasipit Lady Spikers are the only team that did not return to the league.

Preliminary round

The preliminary round began on August 11, 2024, with the opening gameday held at Strike Gymnasium in Bacoor, Cavite.[7] The opening game that day is a rematch of last season's finals between the runner-up Negros Blue Hawks and the defending champion Bacoor City Strikers in their home venue.

The preliminary round will now utilize a double round-robin tournament format, where each team will play two games against all other teams. Each team is expected to play sixteen games this season. Only the top four teams will advance to the final round, which is halved from the previous season's eight teams.

Pool standing procedure

  1. Set ratio: number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
  2. Setpoint ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
  3. Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
