The 2025 Shakey's Super League Pre-season Unity Cup was the fourth edition of the collegiate volleyball competition organized by the Shakey's Super League and the third and final SSL tournament of 2025. The Shakey’s Super League Preseason Collegiate Championship is shifting to being the SSL Preseason Unity Cup. In celebration of the pizza brand’s 50th anniversary, the SSL introduced the new league name last Sept. 03, 2025. The tournament started on Sept. 20 at the Playtime Filoil Centre featuring 16 teams from the UAAP (6) and the NCAA (10).[1][2]

The NU Lady Bulldogs entered this tournament as the three-time defending pre-season champions. De La Salle Lady Spikers and UE Lady Warriors are taking a leave of absence from the competition as both squads are still in the process of rebuilding their core following some key departures. It was also announced during the tourney's press conference last Wednesday September 03, 2025 in Buendia, Makati, the tournament will hold an All-Star Weekend featuring past and present collegiate stars.[3][4]
