14 teams will compete in the regular season. 11 of the top 12 teams from 2023–24 Turkish Women's Volleyball League returned. Çukurova Belediyespor, one of the top 12 teams from the previous season, transferred their competing bid to Zeren Spor.[1] The top 2 teams from the second-tier league (2023–2024 KFC Kadınlar 1. Ligi), Aras Kargo and Bahçelievler Belediyespor, joined the league. During the regular season, teams will compete in a double round-robin tournament with home-and-away fixtures. The bottom 2 teams will be relegated to play in the second-tier league next season. Final rankings for the top 8 will be determined with playoffs, with 5th-8th teams and the 1st-4th teams played in separate brackets. All playoff match-ups will be played as best-off-three series, except for the championship series which will be played best-off-five. The top three teams will qualify for the 2025–26 CEV Women's Champions League, while the 4th place team will qualify for the 2025–26 Women's CEV Cup, the 5th place team will qualify for the 2025–26 CEV Women's Challenge Cup, and the 6th place team will qualify for the 2025 Women's BVA Cup.[2]
