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 - Cignal HD Spikers, PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters, Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors and F2 Logistics Cargo Movers.[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]
