The 2026–27 Premier Volleyball League season will be the tenth season (ninth season of play) of the Premier Volleyball League and its sixth as a professional league. The season will formally start on October 10, 2026, which will also mark that start of its 10th anniversary celebrations. Before that, the league held the PVL on Tour and the Invitational Conference as part of a larger preseason.
The league contracted to nine teams this season as the Chery Tiggo Crossovers, Petro Gazz Angels, and Cignal Super Spikers all departed during the previous season.
The league is expected to introduce trades sometime this season.
This season will see the league crown its first season champion, dubbed the "Philippine Grand Champion", to be determined at the conclusion of the final conference, the 2026–27 All-Filipino Conference.
10th anniversary celebrations This season will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the league's establishment from when it rebranded from the Shakey's V-League. The league's 10th anniversary logo was unveiled on August 27, 2026, with a series of events to follow throughout the season. On September 3, Sports Vision announced that the opening matchday will be held at SM Seaside Cebu Arena in Cebu City, and that the men's league, Spikers' Turf, will open its 10th season on the same day. Coincidentally, to mark the occasion, the opening matchday is set for October 10 or "10/10".
