The 2026 Premier Volleyball League Rookie Draft, held at Novotel Manila in Cubao, ushered in a new generation of talent that promises to reshape the league’s competitive landscape. With 38 players vying for spots across nine PVL teams, the draft night produced compelling storylines that extend well beyond the court—particularly for fans eager to collect the jerseys of their newest favorite players.
Galeries Tower made the biggest splash by selecting former National University standout setter Camilla Lamina with the No. 1 overall pick. Lamina, a three-time UAAP champion and three-time Best Setter awardee, joins a retooled Highrisers squad that already features Aiza Maizo-Pontillas and Jean Asis. With Lamina now wearing the Galeries Tower jersey, expect her number to become one of the most popular among collectors as the franchise builds its identity around her elite playmaking. The Highrisers have been refreshing their team merchandise lineup, and Lamina’s arrival adds star power that fans will want to rep.
Capital1 Solar Spikers followed with the No. 2 pick, selecting University of Santo Tomas libero Detdet Pepito in a move that reunites her with 2025 first overall pick Bella Belen. Pepito, a two-time UAAP Best Libero, joins a growing Capital1 core that is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young teams in the league. The Solar Spikers’ distinctive green-and-gold uniforms are already among the most recognizable in the PVL, and fans are eager to grab Pepito’s jersey after the emotional draft-night moment when she reunited with Belen, her teammate since elementary school.
Choco Mucho grabbed Far Eastern University setter Tin Ubaldo at No. 3, strengthening their playmaking corps alongside Deanna Wong and Tia Andaya. The Flying Titans’ iconic purple jerseys have been consistent bestsellers, and Ubaldo’s addition gives fans another reason to grab the latest team kit.
Farm Fresh selected UST’s Jonna Perdido, while PLDT picked University of Perpetual Help’s Fianne Ariola. Defending All-Filipino champion Creamline closed the first round by taking Adamson University’s Barbie Jamili. The Cool Smashers continue to be the most dominant force in the league, and their championship jerseys—now available in the latest 2026 design—remain the top-selling team apparel in Philippine volleyball.
The draft also saw several notable second-round selections. Capital1 continued building by picking University of the East middle blocker Khy Cepada at ninth overall. Galeries Tower added middle blocker Ann Asis, while Farm Fresh selected Ela Raagas. These new draftees will be donning their respective team colors for the first time in the upcoming PVL season, making it the perfect moment for fans to refresh their collections.
With 27 players going undrafted and becoming free agents, the signing period ahead promises even more roster movement—and more jersey options for fans. Teams are expected to announce their full 2026 season merchandise lines in the coming weeks, including special draft-class commemorative items.
Whether you’re cheering for Lamina’s Highrisers in their bold dark uniforms, Pepito’s Solar Spikers in striking green and gold, or perennial powerhouse Creamline in championship blue, the 2026 PVL Draft class has given fans plenty of reasons to update their jersey collection.
