2025 Everest Women's Volleyball League (also known as EWVL 2025 or Vatsalya EWVL 2025) is the second season of the Everest Women's Volleyball League, a franchise-based Nepalese volleyball league organized by Infinity Dreams Pvt. Ltd.[1] and the Nepal Volleyball Association. The tournament with six teams was originally scheduled from 5 to 13 September 2025 at the Pokhara Rangasala Indoor Hall.[2]The league carries the name Vatsalya EWVL 2025 due to its title sponsorship by Vatsalya.

However, the league was later postponed due to the nationwide Gen Z protest in Nepal, which caused widespread disruptions and safety concerns during the event. Reports stated that some violence and arson had occurred near the hotel where foreign players were staying, forcing the organizers to halt the league for security reasons.[3][4] Following the postponement, the organizers announced that the remaining matches would be held in the Dasarath Stadium Covered Hall, Kathmandu from 12 to 15 November 2025.[5][6]
