The 2024 MPVA season, also referred to as MPVA Season 1,[1] was the first full-length season of the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA) and its second overall. The preliminary round began on August 11, 2024. This season will see two new teams: the Quezon Tangerines and Valenzuela Classy.[2]

The Bacoor City Strikers enter this season as defending champions.[3]

Teams

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.

The team abbreviation in parentheses indicates the designated host team for that gameday.

Round 2

Final round

In the semifinals, the top two teams will gain a twice-to-beat advantage over their opponents. The losers of the semifinals series will compete in a single bronze medal match while the winners compete in a best-of-three finals series. If a team goes undefeated in the preliminary round, the final round will switch to a stepladder format similar to collegiate sports.
