The NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championships may have wrapped up, but that doesn’t hit the brakes on all the volleyball action. Starting January 9, 2025, the Pro Volleyball Federation is returning for its second season. And that means, 112 additional exciting clashes on the court! So if you are a fan, you can start counting the days until the league commences.

However, you’d want to know a few basic details before gearing up to watch the season. To answer the very basics, let us tell you that each team shall have 28 matches on the schedule – 14 at home and 14 on the road. This means that the 8 teams playing this season will face every team 4 times in total. But how do you get to watch all of this? Well, here are the event’s broadcast details.

Pro Volleyball Federation television coverage details

Around mid-November, 2024, the Pro Volleyball Federation made it public that they’ve finalized a multi-year extension with CBS Sports. Per it, some 20 matches, including the Championship’s two semifinals and final would be aired on CBS Sports Network. Also, one of the PVF matches was supposed to air on the CBS Television Network, a historic first for professional volleyball to be aired on national television.

However, by mid-December, there was more news. The Pro Volleyball Federation has put down a television agreement on paper, with FS1 and FS2. Thanks to this, the television coverage will now have 12 more nationally televised matches in 2025. And how does the breakdown look? Well, 4 matches would air on FS1, 8 on FS2, and over 24 PVF matches in total that would go live across different premier linear and over-the-air networks.

Thus, you can easily call this the most extensive coverage on TV for professional volleyball! This lends weight to the fact that women’s volleyball is growing by leaps and bounds. Just this year, women’s D1 NCAA volleyball viewership soared to the top of all charts! And now, the PVF telecast schedule has led Jen Spicher the CEO of PVF to boast, “This agreement further cements our position as a leading force in professional volleyball. We’re expanding an already substantial broadcast presence, giving fans unprecedented access to the highest level of competition.”

Well, 2025 is going to bring in so many eyes on the sport. And that’s sure! But how did the inaugural season of the Pro Volleyball Federation look like? Let’s understand the growth by looking at last season’s figures.

How was the first PVF Championship different?

Well, if we speak in general, there have been multiple differences. Say last year, just 7 teams were playing in the PVF Championships. But this year, it’s increased to 8. And telecast-wise too, the first season was more of a ‘try-it’ year of sorts. However, clearly, the theme for 2025 is to go all out!

Last season, the Pro Volleyball Federation signed its first media deal, bringing televised professional volleyball games to CBS Sports. But was the turnout equally grand? Well, yes. In its inaugural season, PVF averaged nearly 5,000 fans per match and received the most live viewership of any professional volleyball league.

And this year, the Pro Volleyball Federation has clearly cranked it up a notch! Entering its second season, the league continues to stand out from its competition with more than twice as many scheduled matches as any other league—and the most comprehensive broadcast distribution in the sport.

Plus, they also have the largest network of franchises and the highest championship prize money in the sport, totaling $1 million! So, are you excited about what’s about to come on the volleyball front? Share your thoughts with us below!
