Sixteen men's and women's teams participated, of which eight teams participated in the SVNS World Championship and the other teams participated in the SVNS Playoff for core team status and to participate on the 2026 HSBC SVNS.
Men
The top eight-placed teams from the first seven previous events in the 2024–25 SVNS series played in a Grand Final event. The teams placed between nine–twelve competed in a promotion/relegation-style event with the top four teams from the men's and women's Challenger Series to decide which teams stay as core teams.[1][2] Seeding of teams is in brackets. Teams were split into pools based on their seeding during the regular season and Challenger Series.
