Format
For the first time ever, aligning to the Olympic model, the new SVNS format will showcase the twelve best men's and women's teams, which will conclude in a Grand Final weekend where the top eight teams will compete to be crowned Series champions. The teams ranked ninth to twelfth will compete against the top four teams from a new Challenger Series in a relegation play-off to see who secures their place in the 2024–2025 season. It will also be the first time both men and women's teams will earn the same with equal participation fees. The tournament will be a build up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.[3][4]
