I swear, I remember seeing that SCL would go to level 8 in PVP in the off season, but it is still a level 7 max. WTF come on D3 keep your promises. While I’m at it I also remember them saying they were going to rerun the PX DPD what happened to that?
Literally starts in 3 hours. 
I believe it said the Start of the next Season

Says “S.H.I.E.L.D. Clearance Level 8 will be available in Versus Events starting with the first offseason event after the Power Gem Season has concluded.”
but this event starts while Power Gem Season is still going on…
So we should be seeing Shield Clearance Level 8 in Divine Champions then?
if not than starting with time gem season
Update to the sneak peek post indicates pvp SCL8 will start at the beginning of the next season:
