The V-League is a collegiate volleyball league for both men and women in the Philippines organized by Sports Vision.
The V-League launched in 2022 traces its roots to the Shakey's V-League established in 2004 by Sports Vision Management Group, Inc.. [1] The Shakey's V-League was initially an inter-collegiate women's league with teams from the UAAP, NCAA, CESAFI among others playing in the league. [2] The league had Shakey's Pizza as its title sponsor since its inception [1] until 2016. [3] The league would include corporate and non-collegiate teams in 2011. [2]
In 2014, a men's division was introduced during its 21st conference. [4] [5] [6] The following year, the men's tournament was spun-off as Spikers' Turf. [7] [8]
In late-2016, Sports Vision announced that the Spikers' Turf would be merged back with the Shakey's V-League (which was renamed as the Premier Volleyball League). [9] [10] The men's division in the PVL ended with the 2018 PVL Collegiate Conference as its final tournament. The Spikers' Turf was revived on October 6, 2018 [11] and was reestablished as a separate legal entity from the PVL. [12]
The PVL became a professional league starting the 2021 season which meant collegiate and amateur teams can no longer take part. [13] Hence in October 2022, Sports Vision relaunched the collegiate conferences of the PVL and Spikers' Turf as a separate league – the V-League. Twelve teams are set to compete in the men's division and eight teams in the women's tournament. [14]
These are the teams who will compete at the 2024 V-League Collegiate Challenge. [15]
