Format

Regular season

Regular season plays a sextuple round-robin (triple home and away matches) and each single round-robin is called a round. Each team plays 36 games in the regular season.

Regular season standing procedure

1. Match points
2. Number of matches won
3. Sets ratio
4. Points ratio
5. Result of the last match between the tied teams

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

Postseason

The top three teams in the regular season standing will qualify for the postseason. However, if the difference between the 3rd and 4th place team is within three match points, the 4th place team will also qualify.
