The Volleyball 2020–21 V.League Division 1 Women's is the 27th volleyball tournament year and the 3rd top level women's volleyball tournament of the newly branded and reorganized V.League (Japan). It is held from October 17, 2020 – February 21, 2021.[1][2][3][4]

On August 4, 2020 the V.League Organization announced measures it has implemented to safeguard athletes, visitors, and related parties against the new coronavirus.[5][6] Venues will be limited to 50% capacity and divided into three zones:

  • Zone 1: Competition-related area (athletes, referees, etc.)
  • Zone 2: Tournament management staff & press-related area
  • Zone 3: Customer area

Visitors will have their body temperature taken before entering and are prohibited from certain forms of support such as loud cheering, using thundersticks, and high-fiving.

The V. League Division 1 Women's V Cup will be held from February 27, 2021 to March 28, 2021. All twelve teams will participate but players who have been invited to the Japan women's national volleyball team will begin early training for the 2021 Olympics and will not participate in the V Cup.

The Empress' Cup Final Round is scheduled for December 11–20, 2020. The Prefecture and Block rounds were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.[7]

The Kurowashiki All Japan Volleyball Tournament opens in May every year in Osaka and serves as the final competition of the season.[8]

Season standing procedure

Many matches were canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and the number of completed matches varied from team to team so the season standing procedure was changed from "number of matches won" to win rate percentage.[14]

Tie breakers are as follows:

  • If two or more teams have the same winning percentage, the team with the highest set rate will be ranked higher.
  • If the set rate is also the same, the team with the highest scoring rate will be ranked higher.
  • If the score rate is also the same, the teams are calculated and the top ranks are decided in the order of win rate, set rate, and score rate.
