The 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League All–Filipino Conference will be the twentieth conference of the Premier Volleyball League and its eleventh conference as a professional league.

This will be the first conference for the 2024–25 season.[1] [2] This will be the longest conference of the league as it is estimated to take up to 5 to 6 months, as the league aligns with the FIVB calendar.[1] [3] Starting this tournament, referees from nearby countries will officiate semifinals and finals matches in a bid to mitigate bias.[4]

The champions of this conference will represent the Philippines in the 2025 AVC Women's Champions League, formerly known as the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship. Sports Vision will sponsor the team's participation after previous failed attempts of sending the top teams in previous iterations due to lack of finances from team owners or players' injuries.[5]
