The Premier Volleyball League (PVL) was established in 2017 as a rebranding of the Shakey's V-League. It currently has completed eight seasons in its history. Each season is separated into multiple tournaments (known as conferences) with their own formats and regulations. Each conference begins with a preliminary round before advancing to the knockout rounds, culminating in a Finals series to determine the conference champion.
From 2017 to 2023, the league used a year-round calendar from January to December. In February 2024, the league announced a calendar shift in an effort to better align their calendar with that of the FIVB. The 2024–25 season was an extended season as part of the transition to the new calendar. Starting from the 2025–26 season, the calendar now runs from June to May.
From 2017 to 2019, winning two conferences (excluding the Collegiate Conference) is considered a Golden Double. Since 2022, winning three conferences gives the team the distinction of winning the Grand Slam.
