And just like that, Major League Volleyball's inaugural season has wrapped up. The league's first playoffs are happening this weekend.
Following a merger with the Pro Volleyball Federation in 2025, MLV became the premier unified professional women's volleyball league in the nation. Eight franchises participated in the regular season, but only four have qualified to compete in the playoffs — the Indy Ignite, Dallas Pulse, San Diego Mojo and Omaha Supernovas.
Each of these teams have had success this season, but the Ignite hold a dominant 23-5 record heading into the playoff bracket. The tournament is a simple single-elimination setup, an will feature Ignite-Supernovas and Pulse-Mojo in the semifinals.
Who will be named the first champion in this new era of professional volleyball?
