What the Current Table Says
Table leader
NEC Red Rockets Kawasaki set the current pace
NEC Red Rockets Kawasaki sit first in the latest table with 44 played, 36–8 W–L, 104 pts. The early order matters for playoff seeding, but the gap can move quickly while the regular season is still developing.
Chasing pack
SAGA Hisamitsu Springs and PFU BlueCats Ishikawa Kahoku form the nearest chasing group
SAGA Hisamitsu Springs are on 44 played, 36–8 W–L, 99 pts, while PFU BlueCats Ishikawa Kahoku are on 44 played, 31–13 W–L, 96 pts. This is the part of the table where one five-set result can change both wins and league points without changing the wider title picture.
Lower table
The pressure is already visible at the bottom
Aranmare Yamagata currently occupy the final position with 44 played, 3–41 W–L, 11 pts. The lower end matters because every league point can affect survival, postseason access or final seeding depending on the competition format.

2025–26 Transfers & Continuity
SAGA Hisamitsu Springs
Continuity around the defending champion
SAGA Hisamitsu Springs enter 2025–26 as the benchmark. The most important roster question is not the number of transactions but whether the championship core — starting setter, primary scorers, middle rotation and defensive structure — remains intact after the title run.
Title challengers
Roster turnover can redraw the top group
Osaka Marvelous and the other leading contenders are the teams to watch when confirmed arrivals, departures or coaching changes materially alter the title race. VolleyBond keeps this section focused on moves that change roles or competitive level rather than listing every transaction.
League movement
Depth matters beyond the headline signings
Across SV.League Women, continuity in the second unit and domestic-player core often matters as much as a single star arrival. As the season develops, this section can track the roster changes that show up most clearly in performance and standings movement.
