The 2021 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference was the tenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League, its first conference as a professional league, and the only conference of the 2021 season. ^{[1] [2] [3]} The conference started on July 17, 2021 and ended on August 13, 2021, at the PCV Socio-Civic and Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte in a bubble. ^[4] The PVL has been approved by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to begin team practices to be followed by the official start of the 2021 season. ^{[5] [6]}

In January 2021, it was reported that Motolite filed a leave of absence from the league and released all of its players. ^[7] The Philippine Army Lady Troopers will participate as a guest team. ^[8]

Five teams from Philippine Super Liga joined the PVL – Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Cignal HD Spikers, F2 Logistics Cargo Movers, PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters and Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors. ^{[9] [10] [11] [12]} On July 9, 2021, F2 Logistics announced it will not participate in the Open Conference citing injuries and lack of training due to difficulties maintaining their training bubble. ^[13]

A newly-established team, the UAC Power Hitters, joined the league but announced in June that it will not compete in the Open Conference as it has not formed a team in time for the conference. ^{[14] [15]}

Venue

The 2021 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference held its first game at the Centennial Arena in Laoag, Ilocos Norte as an isolation zone (bubble). But since Laoag is under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine days before the tournament, teams temporarily moved the venue to PCV Socio-Civic and Cultural Center in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte. ^[16] The conference began July 17, 2021, the bubble accommodated 11 teams. ^[17]

The original schedule of the 2021 bubble was supposed to be in February or March. Ricky Palou, president of Sports Vision Management (organizers of the PVL), said that they did not want to compete with basketball as the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas is having an international tournament in February. Philippine men's basketball team will hold practices and will compete for the February window of the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup qualification to be held also at the Inspire Sports Academy.

Cignal TV will be the official broadcast partner under a 3-year contract. ^{[18] [19]}
