List of Premier Volleyball League award recipients
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) presents multiple awards at every conference to recognize its players for their accomplishments. These include two Most Valuable Player awards and seven positional awards collectively known as the All-Premier Team.
When the league was rebranded from the Shakey's V-League in 2017, it carried over most of its awards, with the only notable exception being the Most Improved Player award. There are also other special awards which are only given occasionally and not in every conference. The Best Foreign Guest Player award is only given during the league's Reinforced Conference. In the 2018 Reinforced Conference, the league gave the Highest Scorer in a Match with its own award. In 2024, the Rookie of the Conference was introduced. There's also one team award, the Fair Play Award, though that was only given during the 2024 All-Filipino Conference.
Until 2025, the league doesn't give out awards for performance in a full season or across multiple conference. Since then, the PVL Press Corps have given annual awards through its PVL Press Corps Awards Night.
