History
Philippine Super Liga
The Cignal Super Spikers started as the Cignal HD Spikers in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL). They debuted at the 2014 PSL All-Filipino Conference where they finished as runners-up.[1][2]
They won their first PSL title in the succeeding tournament, the 2014 Grand Prix Conference. This qualified Cignal for the 2015 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship in Taiwan.[3]
As of 2026, Cignal is currently under a leave of absence from the league.
Spikers' Turf
Cignal moved to the then newly-established Spikers' Turf in 2015. The league is the men's counterpart of the Shakey's V-League.[4] Cignal went on to become a nine-time Spikers' Turf champion.[5][6]
Formerly known as the Cignal HD Spikers, the team adopted its current name in October 2025.[7] Cignal missed its first ever PVL finals since 2019 at the 2025 Invitational Conference where the team finished as third placers.[6] In January 2026, Cignal filed a leave of absence from the league ahead of the 2026 Open Conference.[8]
