  1. 10 teams participate in round robin system, playing each other team 4 times.
  2. Teams are ranked in the Regular Round by:
    • Winning percentages ->Points ->Set Percentage ->Scoring Rate
  3. The top six teams from the Regular Round will advance to the Final Stage
  4. Ranking of 7th to 10th place ranking of the Regular Round is the final ranking.
  5. As 2024–25 season will be reformed into S-V League, so there will be no relegation in this season.

Final stage

  1. Top 6 teams of Regular Round to complete in a tournament format.
  2. The teams ranked 3rd to 6th in the regular round will advance to the quarterfinals. The winner of the Quarterfinals advances to the Semifinals and the loser advances to the 5th place match.
  3. The top two teams from the regular round and the winner of the quarterfinals will advance to the semifinals. The semi-final winner advances to the final, and the loser advances to the third-place match.
  4. All matches will be 5-set matches.


Season standing procedure

  1. The teams will be ranked by the winning percentages
  2. The teams will be ranked by the most point gained per match as follows:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
    • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
    • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
  3. If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:
    • Set quotient: if two or more teams are tied on total number of victories, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all set won by the number of all sets lost.
    • Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the set quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
    • If the tie persists based on the point quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in point quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
