The Premier Volleyball League Collegiate Conference was a conference in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). This conference featured only collegiate teams from various associations. The name carried over from the conference of the same name in the Shakey's V-League. In 2017 and 2018, the conference featured both women's and men's divisions. In 2019, only the women's division was held after the men's division was spun-off into Spikers' Turf.

Following the PVL's transition to a professional league in 2020, the Collegiate Conference can no longer be held beginning with the 2021 season. Thus in 2022, Sports Vision relaunched the V-League as a separate league to accommodate collegiate teams.[1][2]

In the three-year history of the conference, no team has won multiple titles.

Format history

The format of the Collegiate Conference didn't have any major changes; only using two formats across both the women's and men's divisions.

In 2017, the women's division divided the teams into two separate pools. The teams will then play a single round-robin tournament, playing all other teams once. The top two teams in each pool advanced to the final round, where they begin at the crossover semifinals with the first-seeded team being matched against the second-seed from the other group. The men's division didn't have the teams separated into pools and instead played in a single round-robin against each other, with the top four advancing to the final round. In the semifinals, first-seed played against the fourth-seed while the second-seed played against the third-seed.

In 2018, the both divisions used a single pool similar to the 2017 men's format. In 2019, the women's division reverted back to the two-pool format.
