The Shakey's V-League was a non-professional volleyball league in the Philippines that started in 2004. It began as a women's collegiate league with teams coming from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation (CESAFI), among others. Since 2011, corporate clubs and other non-collegiate teams have also participated in the league.
A men's division was included in its 21st conference (2014). It served as the precursor of the Spikers' Turf, the following year.[1][2][3]
In December 2016, the league renamed itself and transitioned into the current professional league — Premier Volleyball League, parting its ways with its prime sponsor, Shakey's Pizza.
