MANILA, Philippines – The longest conference in Premier Volleyball League (PVL) history is now set in stone as the 2024-2025 All-Filipino tilt offers a whopping five whole months of elite pro volleyball action starting November 9.
As part of a concerted, well-planned effort to synchronize with the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) calendar and lessen scheduling conflicts with the Alas Pilipinas women’s volleyball team, the PVL has released all four months of the elimination round schedule here.
The league is also bringing its entertainment back to fans outside Metro Manila with stops in Antipolo City, Rizal, on November 16 and 19; Candon City, Ilocos Sur, on November 23; Cebu on December 7; and Passi City, Iloilo, on February 22, 2025.
Format
The last two months of the tournament will feature yet another new adaptation to the ever-growing league: a play-in tournament similar to the NBA.
From February 27 to March 4, teams will be paired in knockout qualifiers based on final preliminary standings. Rank 1 will face Rank 12, No. 2 will face 11, and so on. The six winners advance to the best-of-three quarterfinals, while the six losers drop to the play-in and be divided into two groups of three.
The two losers groups will then engage in a single round-robin to determine the seventh and eighth seeds. The semifinals will then feature another single round-robin among the final four before the top two clash in a best-of-three finals for the right to be crowned All-Filipino Conference champions.
