The 2022 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference is the eleven conference of the Premier Volleyball League (38th conference of the former Shakey's V-League) and its Second conference as a professional league.[1][2][3] The conference began on July 17, 2022, at the Centennial Arena in Laoag, Ilocos Norte in a bubble.[4][5] 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 2022 season.[6][7]

In January 2022, it was reported that Motolite filed a leave of absence from the league and released all of its players.[8] The Philippine Army Lady Troopers will participate as a guest team.[9]

Five teams from Philippine Super Liga joined the PVL - Cignal HD Spikers, the PLDT Home Fibr Hitters, Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors and F2 Logistics Cargo Movers.[10][11][12][13] On July 9, 2022, F2 Logistics announced it will not participate in the Open Conference citing injuries and lack of training due to difficulties maintaining their training bubble.[14]

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.[15][16]
