How PVL finals are decided

Most PVL conferences end with a best-of-three championship series between the top two teams after the semifinals, along with a third-place series. In the 2026–27 Siklab Series, the final and the third-place match are both best-of-three (Wikipedia). Formats can change by conference, so check each conference’s rules.

Champions by conference type

All-Filipino Conference

The league’s flagship conference, for Filipino players only. Known as the Open Conference until it was rebranded in 2023. Creamline have won it seven times.

Reinforced Conference

Teams can add a foreign import. Petro Gazz have won it twice (2022 and 2025), and Creamline won it in 2018 and 2024.

Invitational Conference

Introduced in 2022, it brings in guest clubs from abroad. Creamline have won it twice (2022 and 2024) and PLDT once (2025), while guest clubs took the 2023 and 2026 titles: Kurashiki Ablaze and Est Cola (Wikipedia).

Where to watch PVL finals

PVL finals are broadcast on One Sports and One Sports+, and streamed on Cignal Play and the One Sports YouTube channel (Wikipedia). Finals usually move to the league’s biggest venues, such as SM Mall of Asia Arena and Smart Araneta Coliseum, where crowds have averaged more than 20,000 for finals in recent seasons (Asia News Network). Tickets are sold through the league’s official ticketing partner, PVL tickets.

Reading the champions list

A few patterns stand out in the record. Creamline have been the benchmark in almost every season since 2018, but the titles have spread out since 2024–25, with Petro Gazz, PLDT and a foreign guest club all winning. Several former champions, including BaliPure, Pocari Sweat and Chery Tiggo, are no longer in the league, which shows how much the PVL’s line-up has changed in under a decade.

The next champions: 2026–27

The 2026–27 All-Filipino Conference is split into three series, Siklab, Sigla and Sinag, each crowning a champion, with the Sinag Series deciding the league’s first Philippine Grand Champion (PVL). This list will be updated after each final. [UPDATE after the Siklab final in December 2026.]
