The women's division of the 2021 PNVF Champions League was held from November 20 to 25, 2021. This is the inaugural edition of the PNVF Champions League.[1][2] The winner of this tournament will be the country's representative to the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championships in May next year. F2 Logistics Cargo Movers are the inaugural champions.[3]
Originally, the participating teams were to be drawn into two groups of at most four teams for the preliminary round, which was to use a single round robin format. The teams would have advance to the quarterfinals with the fixtures determined by their finishing in their respective pools. The winning teams advance to the semifinals and the losing teams to the classification phase. The semifinals winners would have figured in the gold medal match and the losing sides would play against each other to determine the third best finishing team.[7]
This format was scrapped after the withdrawal of a team from the tournament which originally had seven entrants. The tournament format was revised and adopted a single-round robin format, with all teams in a single pool, with no play-off phase.[8]
