The 2023 MPVA season was the first overall season of the Maharlika Pilipinas Volleyball Association (MPVA). The preliminary round began on October 22, 2023 and ended on November 30, 2023. The playoffs then ran from December 2 to 21, 2023.[1] This season featured eight teams from across the country.[2]
The opening ceremony took place at Ynares Center in Antipolo, Rizal with a doubleheader featuring the Caloocan AM Spikers and Negros–ICC Blue Hawks in the first match, followed by the San Juan Lady Knights and Rizal Golden Coolers in the second match.[2]
The Bacoor City Strikers won the league's inaugural championship, after defeating the Negros–ICC Blue Hawks in three matches in the Finals. [3]
The succeeding 2024 season would be the league's first full-length season and is referred to as Season 1. To differentiate the two seasons, the 2023 season is retroactively referred to as the MPVA Inaugural Season.
