PSL Grand Prix chronology
PSL conference chronology

The 2014 Philippine Super Liga Grand Prix was the second conference of the 2014 season of the Philippine Super Liga (PSL) and the second running of the Grand Prix. The tournament ran from October 18 to November 30, 2014.[1] The tournament's major sponsor was Asics. FIVB Referees Commission director Mohammed Hassan was the guest of honor of the opening ceremony held in Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Six teams took part in the women's division, the first time it has contracted. The AirAsia Flying Spikers, Cagayan Valley Lady Rising Suns, PLDT Home TVolution Power Attackers, and the three-time defending champion Philippine Army Lady Troopers all left. All teams except AirAsia had been taking part in the Shakey's V-League at the same time.[2] Three teams made their debut in the Foton Tornadoes, Generika Lifesavers, and the original incarnation of the Mane 'n Tail Lady Stallions. Generika, which became independent in this conference, acquired the franchise previously held by AirAsia.[3]

Five teams took part in the men's division, which saw the debut of the Fourbees Cavite Patriots Total Attackers and the returning Maybank Tigers.[4] The Via Mare Voyagers left after just one conference while Instituto Estetico Manila Phoenix Volley Masters moved to the SVL's new men's division.[5]

The Petron Blaze Spikers became just the second team to win a PSL women's title while the Cignal HD Spikers men's team won the men's division title. Both teams would represent the Philippines at the 2015 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship and 2015 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship, respectively.

This would also be the last conference where the PSL hosted a men's division, which was dissolved for indoor conferences following the establishment of Spikers' Turf.
