The collegiate men's and women's tournaments began on February 25, 2023.[1][2]
The high school boys' and girls' tournaments[3] began earlier on February 13, 2023.[4][5]
This is the first tournament for men's, boys' and girls' since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tournament format
The UAAP continued to use the Final Four with an updated format in stepladder prior to the start of Season 85, which was to scrapped the "undue advantage" bestowed to second seed team.[6]
The league reverted to its pre-pandemic Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday schedule and protocols such as handshakes and court-side switches between the two teams.[7][8]
It will also reintroduce the use of video challenge system beginning second round of the tournaments. This will give each team two challenges per set to review questionable calls by the officials.[9][10]
Mike Verano appointed as the UAAP Volleyball commissioner for this season.[7]

All eight member universities of the UAAP fielded teams in collegiate division while 7 (boys') and 6 (girls') teams in high school, respectively.
