The 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Invitational Conference was the eighteenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League and its ninth conference as a professional league.

This will be the second and last conference for the 2024 season. This season would be holding two conferences only instead of three, with the Invitational Conference merging with the Reinforced Conference.[1]

A total of fourteen teams competed in this tournament; two foreign guest teams will be introduced before the start of the semis. Each team will be allowed to be reinforced by one foreign player.[2] Strong Group Athletics changed its name to Zus Coffee Thunderbelles.[3]

Changes

PVL Draft

The PVL Rookie Draft will be conducted before the start of the conference. The draft doesn't require neither playing experience nor academic qualification to join. It is open to all aspiring Filipino and Fil-foreign citizen ages 21 years old and above who wants to play in the professional league.[4][5]

The application for the upcoming Rookie Draft was originally scheduled to end on May 31, 2024, but it was later announced by PVL Commissioner Sherwin Malonzo that it will be moved to June 12, 2024, so that rookies can still have time to prepare the documents needed for the draft.[6]

The draft combine will be scheduled on June 25–26, 2024, and the draft proper will be scheduled on July 8, 2024.[7]

Exclusion of the national team players from the upcoming conference

PVL players that are part of the Philippine women's national volleyball team will be excluded from the upcoming conference to focus on their upcoming international league stint.[8]
