The 2025 Premier Volleyball League on Tour was the preseason tournament of the 2025–26 Premier Volleyball League season. The preseason tournament was originally scheduled in July 2025 but was later moved to June 22, 2025. An Invitational Conference with four local teams as well as foreign guest teams is planned as the final leg of the PVL on Tour.
It was the first time the "PVL on Tour" held as its own tournament. Previously, it was used as a label to market games outside Metro Manila. The previous PVL on Tour was integrated within the 2024–25 All Filipino Conference calendar.
PVL president Ricky Palou announced that the PVL would hold a pre-season tournament, supporting the national team's preparation for the upcoming tournaments including the Southeast Asian Games in Thailand. Some of the games had a greater focus on venues outside Metro Manila.
Draft
The second PVL Rookie Draft was conducted before the start of this conference. The application for the Rookie Draft ended on May 23, 2025, and the draft event was held on June 8, 2025.

Pools composition The teams are grouped into two pools using the serpentine system with the 2024–25 All-Filipino Conference final standings as the basis. However, as in previous conferences, the league ensures that sister teams are not drawn into the same pool. Hence, Cignal and Farm Fresh, which should have been in Pools A and B, respectively, were switched, as this would put them against their sister teams — PLDT and Zus Coffee, in the same pool.

Pool standing procedure First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won. If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein: Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser. Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser. In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used: Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost. Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed. Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
