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.
University of Santo Tomas were the champions.[2]
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 20 men's teams.[4]
