## Invitational conference

The 2022 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference was the twelfth conference of the Premier Volleyball League and its third conference as a professional league.
The tournament began on July 9, 2022. Originally slated for the July 2, the tournament was pushed back due to the requests of the club teams.
This is the first (second for the former SVL) conference of the league to commence an invitational conference. A total of eight teams will compete in this event, including one international team — KingWhale Taipei from Taiwan. The BaliPure Purest Water Defenders and F2 Logistics begged off from joining the conference. A second guest team, Kobe Shinwa University, was supposed to join the semi-final round but backed out at the last minute. Replacement guest Philippine National Team, composed mostly of NU Lady Bulldogs team members, also backed out.
