The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) was established in 2017 as a rebranding of the Shakey's V-League. It has since ran seven seasons with an eighth season currently ongoing.
Each season consists of multiple conferences consisting of an elimination round followed by a series of knockout rounds, all culminating in a Finals series to determine the conference champion. From 2017 to 2019, winning two conferences (excluding the Collegiate Conference) gives the team is considered to have achieved a Golden Double. Since 2022, winning all three conferences gives the team the distinction of winning the Grand Slam, similar to the feat of the same name in the Philippine Basketball Association.
As of the 2024 season, the Creamline Cool Smashers are the only women's team to have achieved both the Golden Double and Grand Slam. Meanwhile, the Cignal HD Spikers are the only men's team to win the Golden Double before the dissolution of the men's division following the revival of Spikers' Turf.
In the 2021 season, one conference was held due to the effects and the preventive measures imposed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.[7]
In the 2023 season, the originally planned Reinforced Conference was canceled due to the sanctions imposed by the PNVF, and a second All-Filipino conference was held as a replacement.[8]
