Unlike previous seasons, the tournament will have two divisions: the Golden League, featuring twelve teams, and the Silver League, featuring eight teams.

It also acts as the European qualifying competition for the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Women's Challenger Cup, securing two vacancies for the tournament that will then serve as the qualifying competition for the 2019 FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League.
