National team players

A Philippines women's national team pool was previously announced for the 2025 SEA Games on October 2025.[6] However this was later scrapped. The PVL clubs are encouraged but not obligated to release players for the tournament.[7][8]

Additionally Sisi Rondina (Choco Mucho) and Bernadeth Pons (Creamline) remains unvailable due to a leave of absence to train for the national beach volleyball team for the 2025 SEA Games.[9][10]

Foreign guest players

The following are the foreign guest players for the upcoming conference. Each team are only allowed to have one foreign player and could only replace them mid-conference if they suffer from injuries or if the player (not the team) abandon their commitment.

However the Philippine National Volleyball Federation has blocked the issuance of international transfer certificates (ITCs) rendering the guest players unable to play for the teams until the ITCs get approved.[11] All teams are affected by the issue.[12] On October 8, the guest players as well as Filipino players still affiliated with a foreign national federation had their ITCs approved.[13]

Format

The 2025 Reinforced Conference retains the format used in the 2024 edition:[42]

First round
  • The preliminary round is split into two rounds.
  • In the first round, the twelve teams were divided into two pools of six teams each.
  • The first round was a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams in their pool for a total of five matches. Teams were ranked using the FIVB Ranking System.
Second round
  • In the second round, teams were assigned to new pools based on results from the first round. The top three teams from one pool were grouped with the bottom three teams from the other pool.
  • Results from the first round were carried over, and teams only played against opponents who they haven't faced in the first round for an additional three matches. By the end of the second round, all teams will have played a total of eight matches. Teams continued to be ranked using the FIVB Ranking System.
  • The top eight teams based on combined records across the two rounds advanced to the quarterfinals.
  • Teams ranked 9th to 12th were eliminated and ranked accordingly in the final standings.
Quarterfinals
  • The quarterfinals featured single-elimination matches, with the winners of each advancing to the semifinals.
  • The eight qualified teams were seeded based on their preliminary round results.
  • The match-ups were as follows:
    • QF1: #1 vs. #8
    • QF2: #2 vs. #7
    • QF3: #3 vs. #6
    • QF4: #4 vs. #5
  • The losing teams were eliminated and be ranked 5th to 8th in the final standings based on their preliminary round results.
Semifinals
  • The semifinals also featured single-elimination matches. The winners advanced to the championship match while the losers would play in the third-place match.
  • The match-ups were as follows:
    • SF1: QF1 winner vs. QF4 winner
    • SF2: QF2 winner vs. QF3 winner
Finals
  • Both the championship (gold medal) and third place (bronze medal) matches were single-elimination.
  • The match-ups were as follows:
    • Championship match: Semifinal round winners
    • Third-place match: Semifinal round losers

Pool standing procedure

  • First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
  • If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by 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 further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
    • Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
    • Point 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.
