The 2023 Premier Volleyball League Second All-Filipino Conference is the sixteenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League. The tournament began on October 15, 2023. This tournament was originally the Reinforced Conference but was made into a second All-Filipino Conference as a consequence of sanctions from the Philippine National Volleyball Federation.
The conference featured two debuting teams – Nxled Chameleons, the sister team of Akari Chargers, and Galeries Highrisers. Meanwhile the Foton Tornadoes withdrew from the PVL. This is the first conference of the league catering to the most local club teams with twelve.
Changes
Due to PNVF sanctions
The tournament was originally planned to be organized as the Reinforced Conference and was meant to feature teams reinforced by an import or a foreign player. However, the Philippine National Volleyball Federation penalized the PVL for violating Article 6.1.1.b of the FIVB Regulations 2022 which states that the national team period should be prioritized by professional leagues. However, the league proceeded with the opening of the Invitational Conference on June 27.
The FIVB has allowed the PVL to organize a third conference but the PNVF will not be able to issue international transfer certificates which would allow clubs to sign in foreign players for the tournament.
Format changes
The timeout regulations was changed starting from this conference in a bid to minimize match duration. A technical timeout lasting from one to two minutes will come to effect when one team reaches 13 points. Teams will have one regular timeout and another 30-second timeout for each set.
