Pro Volleyball Federation is the present and future of professional volleyball in North America. The League began play in January 2024 with world class players and coaches, including some of America’s greatest volleyball players.
Pro Volleyball Federation began play in January 2024 and concluded its inaugural campaign in mid-May. The plan for future seasons in 2025 and beyond is currently slated for a similar January - May timeframe.
Our definition of “pro” is a major league definition of the term. We are not just an elevated level of club volleyball. Pro Volleyball Federation operates at a major league level and is advancing a traditional league model with teams in major markets across the country. Our teams play home and road games in major venues, and will have rabid fan bases within their home markets. Pro Volleyball Federation will include some of the best volleyball players in America along with great players from around the world. The league focus is on ensuring that the level and quality of play, treatment of players and the entire fan experience is world class and the best offered anywhere.
Because the time is now for professional volleyball in the United States. Similar beliefs are held by our team ownership groups that represent major league pro sports team owners, brands and sponsor partners, media companies, major venues throughout the country, and executives from many corners of the sports ecosystem.
This is because the action of this sport holds up to any other sport, with highly skilled athletes playing at an extreme tempo above the net and diving on the floor to compete for every point. Volleyball is one of the world’s premier team sports, and the American public is recognizing that, as women’s volleyball at the collegiate level has become the third-most watched live college sport on television, behind only football and men’s basketball.
Finally, Pro Volleyball Federation is providing a new avenue for young volleyball players in America who have previously had no options to play professionally without having to leave the country. Our ability to present opportunities for so many great young athletes is one of the reasons why the launch of Pro Volleyball Federation is such a significant milestone for sports.
Pro Volleyball Federation has attracted many of America’s greatest volleyball players and coaches, and we expect our teams to continue to do so in the future.
Pro Volleyball Federation provided base salaries in its inaugural campaign similar to those of current first-year WNBA players (a league that has been around for over 25 years). Our players are also able to gain additional compensation based on awards achievements and postseason advancement.
The League plans to continue to be a leader in player compensation, offering increased salaries for 2025 as high as $175,000, along with additional benefits of approximately $10,000 per player, making the league one of the strongest in financial benefits for women's professional sports.
