The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) presents multiple awards to recognize its players, coaches, and teams for their accomplishments. The league's conference awards were introduced with its establishment in 2017, while the season awards were introduced in 2025 and are given out by the PVL Press Corps.
History As the Premier Volleyball League was established as a rebrand of the Shakey's V-League in 2017, the league inherited a majority of the SVL's awards. These include Most Valuable Player, Finals Most Valuable Player, Best Foreign Guest Player, and a group of seven awards given to the best players in each position.
For most of the league's first decade, those were the only awards given out with some exceptions. For the 2018 Reinforced Conference, the league added an award for Highest Scorer in a Match, but this was not awarded beyond that point. The 2024 All-Filipino Conference introduced the league's first team award with the Fair Play Award, given to the most disciplined team in a conference. The first new regular award came in the form of the Rookie of the Conference, given to the best performing first-year player.
In 2025, the PVL Press Corps launched its own awards ceremony which brought with it a new line of season-based awards. Some of those are seasonal versions of their conference-based counterparts including the Most Valuable Player of the Season and Mythical Team. New awards include Coach of the Year, Executive of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Miss Quality Minutes, and Team of the Year. Another new award, Most Improved Player, was a remnant of the SVL's awards lineup. Additionally, the Fair Play Award became part of the Press Corps' awards.
