The 2023 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference was the fifteenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League and its six conference as a professional league. The tournament was originally scheduled to start on June 6, 2023, however, it was moved to June 27, 2023, due to the Philippines women's national volleyball team competing at the 2023 Asian Women's Volleyball Challenge Cup.^[1]

This conference introduced three debuting teams in the league — Farm Fresh Foxies and Quezon City Gerflor Defenders as newly formed teams, and the return of Foton Tornadoes in the Filipino volleyball scene after the original team was rebranded as Chery Tiggo Crossovers in 2020.^[2][3] Philippine Army Lady Troopers is skipping this conference due to military training to most of its players.^[4] Two foreign teams, Kurashiki Ablaze of Japan and Kinh Bắc Bắc Ninh of Vietnam, also participated in the conference.^[5][6]

With these new additions alongside the two foreign guest teams, this is the first conference of the PVL that has more than ten participating corporate teams. Moreover, this is also the most contested conference of the league, by having thirteen teams — the most by any conference so far.

The teams are grouped into two pools using the serpentine system with the 2023 All-Filipino Conference final standings as basis. Quezon City Gerflor Defenders is drawn to Pool A, and Farm Fresh Foxies and Foton Tornadoes are drawn to Pool B.

Measures were placed to ensure that sister teams (Creamline and Choco Mucho; PLDT and Cignal HD; Chery Tiggo and Foton) would not be drawn in the same pool.^[9]

The following format will be conducted for the entirety of the conference:^[5]
