Proliga is the Indonesian professional top level competition for volleyball clubs. It is organised by Persatuan Bola Voli Seluruh Indonesia (PBVSI) or Indonesian Volleyball Association. There are both men's Proliga and women's Proliga competitions. Both were founded in 2002.
History
The Proliga was first held in 2002, from February 1 to April 7, 2002 and was held in five cities, namely Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung, Yogyakarta and Gresik. The final party itself was held at the Istora Gelora Bung Karno Jakarta.
The launch of Proliga was the result of a breakthrough by Rita Subowo who at that time served as General Chairperson of PP PBVSI. He saw that there was a decline in volleyball both in terms of coaching, competition and achievement, for this reason there was a need for more professional competition. Through Proliga, Rita hopes that the declining popularity of volleyball in society will become as passionate as before.
Competition format
In each season, each volleyball club will meet other clubs in two rounds of preliminary rounds with a full competition format. The four clubs in each competition category with the highest ranking have the right to qualify for the Final Four.
Depending on the regulations from the committee, in the Final Four the four clubs that have qualified will meet again, either again through a full competition system, a half competition system, or even directly facing each other through a knockout system. The clubs ranked third and fourth (or losing their knockout matches) in the Final Four will compete again in the third place match. Meanwhile, the clubs ranked first and second (or winning in knockout matches) in this round will meet in the final. The last two matches are only played once to determine the third place team and Proliga champion in each season.
From 2026 onwards, the third place and championship grand finals will be played with the best-of-three format.
