Roster regulations

The league has a set of roster regulations, putting restrictions on which and how many players and which players each team can place onto its roster. The initial roster regulations are as follows:^[1]^[5]

All players must at least eighteen (18) years old or above to be able to join a team.
Each team must have at least three homegrown players – local players who are native to their team's home locality.
Each team is limited to three ex-professional players – players with prior participation in professional leagues such as the defunct Philippine Super Liga or Premier Volleyball League.

Preliminary round

The preliminary round began on October 22, 2023 with the opening ceremonies at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, Rizal. It was divided into two stages: the round-robin stage and the group stage. In the round-robin stage, all eight teams play one game against all other teams. In the group stage, two groups of four teams were formed, from there a round-robin format is then used for each group. In each gameday, a set of games are played in a team's homecourt, with the final game often featuring the designated home team.^[6]

Pool standing procedure

First, teams are ranked by the number of match points, wherein:
- Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
- Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
In case of any ties, the following criteria shall be used:

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

Playoffs
