History

In 2014, the Shakey's V-League introduced a men's division during its 21st conference. The following year, Sports Vision, the organizers of the Shakey's V-League decided to spin-off the men's division as a separate tournament, giving birth to the Spikers' Turf.

Sports Vision announced in late-2016 that the league be merged back with the Shakey's V-League (to be renamed as the Premier V-League) starting the 2017 season.
