The 2026–27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) season is just around the corner, and Filipino volleyball fans have plenty to look forward to. Set to begin in July 2026 and run through April 2027, this will be the ninth season of the PVL and its sixth as a fully professional league. With new teams, fresh talent from the draft, and the return of the preseason on Tour series, the upcoming season promises to be one of the most exciting yet — especially for fans eager to gear up in the latest team apparel.
Nine Teams, New Dynamics
The league will field nine teams this season after the departure of Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Petro Gazz Angels (leave of absence), and Cignal Super Spikers (leave of absence). The remaining squads include some of the most popular names in Philippine volleyball:
- Akari Chargers (AKA)
- Capital1 Solar Spikers (CAP)
- Choco Mucho Flying Titans (CMF)
- Creamline Cool Smashers (CCS)
- Farm Fresh Foxies (FFF)
- Galeries Tower Highrisers (GTH)
- Nxled Chameleons (NXL)
- PLDT High Speed Hitters (HSH)
- Zus Coffee Thunderbelles (ZUS)
The roster shakeups mean new team jerseys, new color schemes, and fresh merchandise drops as each squad builds its identity for the new season. Fans should watch for official jersey releases in the coming weeks as teams finalize their lineups.
Draft Picks and New Signings
The 2026 PVL Rookie Draft saw Galeries Tower select two-time UAAP Best Setter Camilla Lamina with the first overall pick, while Capital1 grabbed standout libero Detdet Pepito at No. 2. These new rookies will soon be donning their professional team jerseys for the first time, and their arrival adds another layer of excitement for merchandise collectors.
Capital1 also bolstered its roster by signing former Cignal stars Vanie Gandler and Erika Santos, giving the Solar Spikers a significant offensive upgrade. As new players settle into their teams, expect fresh jersey designs and updated fan gear to hit online stores.
PVL on Tour: Preseason Returns July 4
The Premier Volleyball League on Tour preseason tournament returns for its second running starting July 4, 2026. The preseason series gives fans an early look at team rosters, new jersey designs, and on-court chemistry before the official conference begins. It’s also the perfect time for fans to grab newly released preseason merchandise and team apparel.
The PVL on Tour concept brings games to different venues across the country, making volleyball more accessible to fans outside Metro Manila. For those who can’t attend in person, games will be broadcast on One Sports and One Sports+, with live streaming available on Pilipinas Live.
Trades Coming to the PVL
In a landmark move, the PVL is expected to introduce a formal trade system this season. This will allow teams to exchange players in a structured format, adding another layer of strategy and excitement to the league. For fans and merchandise collectors, trades mean potential jersey number changes, new team affiliations for beloved players, and shifting allegiances in the fan gear market.
