V.League In 2016, the Japan Volleyball League Organization, which hosts
Premier League, held a press conference in Tokyo and announced plans to create a new league and aim for professionalization. They plan to recruit participating teams by the end of November and aim to start in the fall of 2018. This project to create a new league was called NEW BORN V.LEAGUE. The new league was named
V.League. The new V.League aims to promote the "sports business" of volleyball by realizing a system of "earning through sports and returning the profits to sports" without being bound by conventional concepts. In addition, the V.League aims to further enhance the value of volleyball, push volleyball up to Japan's top arena sports, connect with the world, and become the world's best volleyball league.
Creation of SV.League The Japan Volleyball League Organization created the
SV.League as the newest top-flight volleyball organization in Japan, placing it above the V.League. For teams that do not wish to join the SV.League, both men's and women's leagues will be unified into one division under the name of V.League. The East-West Conference system will be introduced. ==Clubs==
