The 2025 LOVB Pro season was the inaugural season of the women's volleyball league LOVB Pro. Six teams competed over 14 weeks, including 12 weeks of regular season play, one mid-season tournament (LOVB Classic), and a one-weekend LOVB Finals.
Teams
LOVB Pro's inaugural season did not include a draft; however, it was announced in December 2024 that six rookies (referred to as The LOVB 6) were signed to play with one of the six teams. Three other rookies have joined the league during the league since January 2025. Pittsburgh Panthers alum Rachel Fairbanks was signed by LOVB Atlanta in January. UT Arlington Mavericks alum Paige Reagor joined LOVB Madison in February, after a brief stint at German Bundesliga team Schwarz-Weiss Erfurt. Stanford Cardinals alum Sami Francis joined LOVB Omaha in March.
