Premier League Volleyball - Applications NOW OPEN!

Volleyball NSW is happy to announce that the application period for Premier League Volleyball (PLV) for the 2026-27 seasons is now open.

What is Premier League Volleyball?

The Volleyball NSW Premier League is the highest level of club volleyball competition in New South Wales, showcasing talent and bringing together the best players, coaches and clubs in a competitive showcase for the sport. The League is comprised of eight licensed clubs who will compete against each other across both men’s and women’s divisions at a Premier Level for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Additionally, as part of the League, competitions for Reserves and Under 18s are also held. The purpose of this structure is to ensure a strong pipeline of emerging talent and provide development opportunities in a competitive environment.

The League runs during the winter season in a round-robin format, culminating in a Finals Series where the Premier League Champions are crowned. Premier League Volleyball is a separate competition from the Sydney Volleyball League and there is no promotion or relegation between the two competitions.

The Premier League is governed by a Club Licensing System, which outlines the standards and expectations for those participating at this level. This ensures consistency, professionalism, and alignment with Volleyball NSW’s long-term vision for the sport. See below for more information on the Licensing System and the application process.

More information on the Premier League including the history of its creation and the Licensing System can be found on the Premier League webpage here.
