| PVL conference chronology | |
The 2025 Premier Volleyball League on Tour is the second tournament of the Premier Volleyball League's 2024–25 season but is billed as a preseason tournament.[1]
It is the first time the "PVL on Tour" was held as its own tournament.[2] Previously, it was used as a label to market games outside Metro Manila. The previous PVL on Tour was integrated within the 2024–25 All Filipino Conference calendar.[3]
PVL president Ricky Palou announced that the PVL will hold a pre-season tournament, supporting the national team's preparation for the upcoming tournaments including the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand. Some of the games will have a greater focus on venues outside Metro Manila.[1]
The preseason tournament was originally scheduled in July 2025 but was later moved to June 22, 2025.[4] An Invitational Conference with four local teams as well as foreign guest teams is planned as the final leg of the PVL on Tour.[1]
Draft
The second PVL Rookie Draft was conducted before the start of this conference. The application for the Rookie Draft ended on May 23, 2025, and the draft event was held on June 8, 2025.[5][6]
Participating teams
Pools composition
The teams are grouped into two pools using the serpentine system with the 2024–25 All-Filipino Conference final standings as the basis. However, as in previous conferences, the league ensures that sister teams are not drawn into the same pool. Hence, Cignal and Farm Fresh, which should have been in Pools A and B, respectively, were switched, as this would put them against their sister teams — PLDT and Zus Coffee, in the same pool.
| Pool A | Pool B |
|---|---|
| Petro Gazz Angels (1) | Creamline Cool Smashers (2) |
| Choco Mucho Flying Titans (4) | Akari Chargers (3) |
| PLDT High Speed Hitters (5) | Chery Tiggo Crossovers (6) |
| Galeries Tower Highrisers (8) | Zus Coffee Thunderbelles (7) |
| Farm Fresh Foxies (10) | Cignal HD Spikers (9) |
| Nxled Chameleons (12) | Capital1 Solar Spikers (11) |
