List of seasons

edit

During its formation in 2017, the PVL consisted of three conferences in one season, two of which initially catered to amateur/non-professional club teams. A team winning both conferences in one season is considered to achieve a "Golden Double", the highest achievement a team can attain in one season. Since its professionalization in 2020 and the ease of COVID-19 restrictions in 2022, the league has managed to separate the collegiate conference into a separate league and parade a three-conference format where all professional teams will join. A team winning all three tournaments is considered to achieve a "Grand Slam", the highest achievement which is identical to the PBA.

As of the 2024 season, only one men's team achieved a Golden Double in one season in the men's division's short history. Meanwhile, only one women's team achieved the Golden Double and Grand Slam in different seasons.

Notes

edit
  • 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]
