The 2025 V-League Visayas season was the inaugural season of V-League Visayas. The season runs from July 6 to July 27, 2025 and features six teams, all based in Cebu City and affiliated with CESAFI.[1][2]

The UC Webmasters and the USJ-R Lady Jaguars made history as the first ever champions of the V-League Visayas on Sunday, July 27, at the USJ-R Basak Campus Coliseum. UC Webmasters overcame a thrilling four-set battle against the USPF Panthers to reign supreme in the men's division.

Format

[edit]

The following format will be used for both men's and women's divisions:[4]

  • The preliminary round is a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams for a total of five matches. Teams are ranked using the FIVB Ranking System.
  • The top two teams will advance to the championship match.
  • The championship match will be a singular match.

Pool standing procedure

[edit]
  • First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
  • If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
    • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
  • In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
    • Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
    • Point ratio: the number of points scored divided by the number of points allowed.
    • Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
