The draft combine is also open to free-agent players who have played in the league starting from the 2021 season. Although free agents are ineligible to join the rookie draft, this event will allow them to show their skills to be seen and potentially hired by teams.[5] The deadline for registration for free agents is on June 21, 2024.

Draft order
In the first round. The order of the four worst-performing teams would be determined through a lottery with a chance to draw the ability to pick the first to fourth picks. This practice is to discourage tanking by teams to influence the pick order in potential future drafts. The remaining eight teams will be arranged based on the reverse final standing at the 2024 All-Filipino Conference. The draft lottery results reveal that Zus Coffee Thunderbelles will get the inaugural top draft pick.[7] The draft concludes when all 12 teams pass the draft selection.
For the second and subsequent rounds, the draft order will continue to use the reverse final standing of the said conference, with the worst team picking first and the champions picking last.[4]
