2024–25 Nxled Chameleons season

The 2024–25 Nxled Chameleons season was the third season of the Nxled Chameleons in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). On October 20, 2024, Nxled named Ettore Guidetti as the team's new head coach, replacing Chen Gang.

Ahead of the All-Filipino Conference, Trisha Genesis ddeparted for the Capital1 Solar Spikers, while EJ Laure joined the team from the Chery Tiggo Crossovers. Nxled only earned one win and four points in eleven matches during the preliminary round, and were then swept by the Creamline Cool Smashers, which brought the team to the play-in tournament.[1] The team finished with a 1–1 record and three points during the round, ranked second in Pool B and didn't make the final round.[2]

In the preseason PVL on Tour, the team made a surprise run winning their first three matches of the prelims. A crucial win against the Farm Fresh Foxies in their final match gave the Chameleons their first-ever advancement into the final round. Unfortunately, the team was swept by Chery Tiggo and were eliminated in the quarterfinals, putting them out of contention for an Invitational Conference slot.[3]

For the Reinforced Conference, Nxled brought in Spanish player Paola Martinez Vela as their foreign guest player.[4][5]
