Teams have played different numbers of matches this early, so the order will shift. Top four after the single round-robin advance to the semifinals. Official table: pvl.ph/standings.

How the Siklab Series works

The 2026–27 All-Filipino Conference is split into three series: Siklab, Sigla and Sinag (PVL).

Siklab (October to December 2026): a single round-robin where each of the nine teams plays eight matches. The top four reach the semifinals, and the top two get a twice-to-beat advantage. The series crowns its own champion.
Sigla: the same format, with its own champion.
Sinag (around March to April 2027): points earned in Siklab and Sigla decide seeding. The top two go straight to the best-of-three semifinals, and the rest work through a stepladder. The final winner is the Philippine Grand Champion.

Two things make Siklab different. Every player on a roster must play at least three rallies (the all-to-play rule), which tests depth (PVL); the rule is dropped for Sigla (PNA). And because standings points carry over, every Siklab win also counts toward the Grand Championship race.

What twice-to-beat means: in the semifinals, No. 1 plays No. 4 and No. 2 plays No. 3. The higher seed only needs to win one of two games, while the lower seed has to win both. The series final and third-place match are best-of-three (Wikipedia).

How PVL teams are ranked

Teams are ranked first by wins, then by match points (Wikipedia):

Result	Winner gets	Loser gets
3-0 or 3-1	3 points	0 points
3-2	2 points	1 point

If teams are still tied, the next tiebreakers are set ratio (sets won divided by sets lost), then point ratio (rally points won divided by points lost). If a tie remains, the same steps are applied using only matches between the tied teams.

That is why a five-set win can cost a team ground: two teams with the same record can sit apart in the table because one won in three or four sets and earned the extra point.
