List of Premier Volleyball League seasons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) was established in 2017 as a rebranding of the Shakey's V-League. It currently has completed eight seasons in its history. Each season is separated into multiple tournaments (known as conferences) with their own formats and regulations. Each conference begins with a preliminary round before advancing to the knockout rounds, culminating in a Finals series to determine the conference champion.
From 2017 to 2019, winning two conferences (excluding the Collegiate Conference) is considered a Golden Double. Since 2022, winning three conferences gives the team the distinction of winning the Grand Slam.
