The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) transitioned from its preseason tour to the start of the Invitational Conference. The PVL On Tour concluded in Victorias City, Negros Occidental, featuring exhibition matches such as Creamline Cool Smashers against Galeries Tower and Farm Fresh against Capital1. These matches served as preparation for teams, with Capital1 using the tour to build chemistry following a roster revamp.

Following the tour, the 9th PVL Invitational Conference was scheduled to begin on August 31 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. This six-team, single-round-robin tournament includes Philippine clubs PLDT, Creamline, Nxled, and Farm Fresh, alongside international teams EST Cola from Thailand and a club from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The tournament format requires teams to play five elimination matches, with only the top two advancing to the championship.
