This conference introduced three debuting teams in the league — Farm Fresh Foxies and Quezon City Gerflor Defenders as newly formed teams, and the return of Foton Tornadoes in the Filipino volleyball scene after the original team was rebranded as Chery Tiggo Crossovers in 2020. Philippine Army Lady Troopers is skipping this conference due to military training to most of its players. Two foreign teams, Kurashiki Ablaze of Japan and Kinh Bắc Bắc Ninh of Vietnam, also participated in the conference.

With these new additions alongside the two foreign guest teams, this is the first conference of the PVL that has more than ten participating corporate teams. Moreover, this is also the most contested conference of the league, by having thirteen teams — the most by any conference so far.
