Starting from this season, the tournament formerly known as the PNVF Champions League would be known as the PNVF Challenge Cup.[1] This marks as the third season of the league.

DLS College of Saint Benilde were the champions.[2]

Participating teams

edit

The tournament was originally meant to enable local government units (cities, municipalities, and provinces) to hold their own volleyball programs.[3] The Challenge Cup would be opened for school and club teams. By the end of October 2023, the PNVF has secured commitment from 17 women's teams.[4] A team from Tagaytay previously committed to take part but withdrew which meant a total of 16 teams took part.
