 Term-limited incumbents 
The following are serving a successive six-year term and are barred from seeking reelection.

 Nancy Binay (UNA), running for mayor of Makati 
 On January 20, 2024, Binay stated in an interview on DWIZ-AM that she was "50 percent sure" that she would run for mayor of Makati upon the end of her term as senator. She confirmed her bid for the mayoralty on September 9. The incumbent mayor and Binay's sister Abigail is running for senator under the Nationalist People's Coalition.
 Koko Pimentel (Nacionalista), running for House representative from Marikina's 1st district
 Pimentel was rumored to run for representative from Marikina's 1st congressional district against Miro Quimbo. Pimentel did file to run on this district, but against incumbent mayor Marcelino Teodoro, husband of incumbent representative Marjorie Ann.
 Grace Poe (Independent)
 Cynthia Villar (Nacionalista), running for House representative from Las Piñas's at-large district
 On July 31, 2024, Villlar expressed her interest in running for public office in Las Piñas, either as mayor or representative for the city's at-large district.

 Mid-term vacancies 

 Sonny Angara (LDP), appointed as Secretary of Education
