The 2024 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference was the second conference of the 2024–25 Premier Volleyball League season. It was originally slated to be a merged tournament of the Invitational and Reinforced Conferences, but PVL Commissioner Sherwin Malonzo announced in a simultaneous interview during the commencement of the 2024 PVL Draft Combine that this would be a stand-alone Reinforced tournament and that the Invitational Conference would start in September.
Twelve teams competed in this conference, which have been grouped into two pools. Each team would be allowed to reinforced by one foreign player. Strong Group Athletics changed its name to Zus Coffee Thunderbelles.
Changes PVL Draft
The PVL Rookie Draft was conducted before the start of the conference. To join, the draft required candidates neither playing experience nor academic qualifications. It was open to all aspiringz Filipino and Filipino-foreign citizens ages 21 years old and above who want to play in the professional league.
The application for the Rookie Draft was originally scheduled to end on May 31, 2024. But PVL Commissioner Malonzo later announced that it will be moved to June 12, 2024, so that rookies can have time to prepare documents needed for the draft.
The draft combine was held on June 25–26, 2024, and the draft proper was held on July 8, 2024.
Exclusion of the national team players from the upcoming conference PVL players on the Philippine women's national volleyball team are excluded from the upcoming conference, as the national team season of the FIVB calendar is ongoing. The national team suited up for the 2024 FIVB Women's Volleyball Challenger Cup, and will prepare for the 2024 SEA Women's V.League.

Pools composition The teams are grouped into two pools using the serpentine system with the 2024 All-Filipino Conference final standings as the basis for the Top 9 teams. Like the 2023 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference, the league ensures that sister teams would not be drawn into the same pool. If the sister teams of Farm Fresh and Zus Coffee happen to be placed in Pool A using the serpentine system, for example, they would be separated to prevent immediate collision between them. Thus, Farm Fresh (9th) and Galeries (10th) are placed in Pool A, and Capital1 (11th) and Zus Coffee (12th) are placed in Pool B.
