Ilagan City set to stage PVL On Tour 2026 opener

Fresh off the successful All-Filipino Conference 2026, the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) will bring its On Tour series to Northern Luzon, opening its 2026 regional leg in Ilagan City, July 4.

The highly anticipated event features a doubleheader between four of the PVL’s most competitive squads as the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles will face the Akari Chargers for the opening clash.

In the main event, the Creamline Cool Smashers will look to flex its championship pedigree against the Nxled Chameleons.

The tour resumes on July 11 in Batangas with Galeries Tower Highrisers meeting Farm Fresh Foxies, then Choco Mucho Flying Titans taking on the Thunderbelles. 

On July 18 in Vigan, Capital 1 Solar Spikers will clash versus the Farm Fresh Foxies before Creamline faces the Galeries Tower Highrisers. 

Action shifts to Lanao del Norte on July 25 with Nxled versus Capital 1, followed by the PLDT High Speed Hitters against Choco Mucho.

The tour continues in August, including matches at a venue yet to be announced on August 1, Nxled taking on Galeries Tower and Akari versus Choco Mucho, and then, in Santiago on August 8 with ZUS taking on PLDT and Capital 1 battling Creamline. 

The final listed leg on August 15, also at a venue yet to be determined, features Farm Fresh against Nxled and the PLDT facing Akari.

Tickets will be sold through local outlets and official PVL channels, while matches will also be streamed live on league platforms for fans who cannot watch on-site.

The PVL On Tour serves as an off-season competition that travels beyond Metro Manila, designed to bring the league closer to fans nationwide while allowing teams to evaluate updated lineups and maintain their competitive rhythm.
