2024–25 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference

<section begin="2024–25 PVL AFC" /> The 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League All–Filipino Conference was the 20th conference of the Premier Volleyball League, its 11th conference as a professional league, and the first conference of the 2024–25 season. The ninth All-Filipino Conference featured twelve teams with no foreign guest players allowed.

This was considered the longest conference of the league as it was estimated to take up to 5 to 6 months, as the league aligns with the FIVB calendar. Starting this tournament, referees from nearby countries would officiate semifinals and finals matches in a bid to mitigate bias.

Creamline Cool Smashers and Petro Gazz Angels as the top two teams of the preliminary round qualified for the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League.<section end="2024–25 PVL AFC" /> The All-Filipino Conference was followed by the 2025 draft and the 2025 PVL on Tour which was billed as a preseason tournament.

Qualification for the AVC Volleyball Champions League

The champions of this conference was originally intended to represent the Philippines in the 2025 AVC Women's Volleyball Champions League, formerly known as the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship. Sports Vision will sponsor the team's participation after previous failed attempts of sending the top teams in previous iterations due to a lack of finances from team owners or players' injuries. On March 1, the league announced that Creamline and Petro Gazz, the leaders in the preliminary round are set to represent the Philippines in the Champions League, as the drawing of lots are set to commence way before the conference ends. At the day of the drawing of lots, the league announced that PLDT High Speed Hitters will also suit up in the Champions League after the Asian Volleyball Confederation granted the host nation another berth.
