The following is a timeline of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) and its member teams. The league was established in 2017 as a rebranding of the former Shakey's V-League (SVL).
This timeline does not include guest teams or Collegiate Conference teams. Collegiate teams that have played in other conferences are included.
Before the PVL
[edit]The last conference of the Shakey's V-League was the 2016 Shakey's V-League Reinforced Open Conference. Eight teams competed in that conference.
Meanwhile the last conference of the first run of Spikers' Turf was the 2016 Spikers' Turf Reinforced Conference. Six teams competed in that conference.
2017
[edit]Reinforced Conference
[edit]In the Reinforced Conference, six teams made up the women's division. The BaliPure Purest Water Defenders, Philippine Air Force Jet Spikers, Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors, and the Power Smashers returned from the former Shakey's V-League. Meanwhile, the Creamline Cool Smashers and Perlas Spikers joined as expansion teams.
The men's division was also made up of six teams, all coming from Spikers' Turf. These teams were the Cafe Lupe Sunrisers (formerly 100 Plus Active Spikers), Cignal HD Spikers, IEM Volley Masters, Philippine Air Force Air Spikers, Philippine Army Troopers, and Sta. Elena Wrecking Balls (formerly Champion Supra).

Open Conference
[edit]In the Open Conference, two teams were added to each division. The women's division saw the addition of the Adamson–Akari Lady Falcons and UP Lady Fighting Maroons, while the Philippine Air Force Jet Spikers were renamed as the Hair Fairy Air Force Jet Spikers. On the other hand, the men's division added the Gamboa Coffee Spikers and Megabuilders Volley Bolts.

2018
[edit]Reinforced Conference
[edit]The women's division remained at eight teams. Three teams made their debut: the Iriga City–Navy Oragons. Petro Gazz Angels, and Tacloban Fighting Warays. PLDT's women's volleyball team also returned as the PayMaya High Flyers after last competing in the SVL. Adamson–Akari, Power Smashers, and UP departed, while Philippine Air Force and Pocari Sweat were merged into one team, becoming the Pocari Sweat–Air Force Lady Warriors. BaliPure became the BaliPure–NU Water Defenders while the Perlas Spikers became the BanKo Perlas Spikers.
The men's division saw one expansion team, that being the Vice Co. Blockbusters. PLDT's men's volleyball team also returned from the SVL as the PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters. However, both Gamboa and Megabuilders leave after just one conference alongside Cafe Lupe, who went on leave.
This was also the last PVL conference for all men's division teams, as they would be put back into the relaunched Spikers' Turf beginning with the 2018 Open Conference.
