The V-League is a collegiate volleyball league for both men and women in the Philippines organized by Sports Vision. The league is a revival of the former Shakey's V-League. The Metro Manila tournament is also known as the V-League Collegiate Challenge.
The league was established in 2022 as a result of the Premier Volleyball League turning into a professional league, which meant that collegiate women's teams can no longer take part. Thus, the V-League was relaunched to accommodate those teams. Collegiate men's teams from Spikers' Turf also moved to the revived league.
In 2025, Sports Vision established V-League Visayas, a regional counterpart for Visayas-based teams.

Perspective
Precursor league
The V-League launched in 2022 traces its roots to the Shakey's V-League established in 2004 by Sports Vision Management Group, Inc.[1] The Shakey's V-League was initially an inter-collegiate women's league with teams from the UAAP, NCAA, CESAFI among others playing in the league.[2] The league had Shakey's Pizza as its title sponsor since its inception[1] until 2016.[3] The league would include corporate and non-collegiate teams in 2011.[2]
In 2014, a men's division was introduced during its 21st conference.[4][5][6] The following year, the men's tournament was spun-off as Spikers' Turf.[7][8]
In late-2016, Sports Vision announced that the Spikers' Turf would be merged back with the Shakey's V-League (which was renamed as the Premier Volleyball League).[9][10] The men's division in the PVL ended with the 2018 PVL Collegiate Conference as its final tournament. The Spikers' Turf was revived on October 6, 2018[11] and was reestablished as a separate legal entity from the PVL.[12]
Launch and inaugural season
The PVL became a professional league starting the 2021 season which meant collegiate and amateur teams can no longer take part.[13] Hence in October 2022, Sports Vision relaunched the collegiate conferences of the PVL and Spikers' Turf as a separate league – the V-League. Twelve teams are set to compete in the men's division and eight teams in the women's tournament.[14]
Visayas expansion
On March 21, 2025, V-League Visayas was first announced as a regional counterpart for Visayas-based teams. Its inaugural season is set to begin in July of that year.[15][16]
