The V.League is a professional volleyball league for men and women in Japan, now the second tier of the Japanese volleyball pyramid. It began in 1994 and is organized by the Japan Volleyball League Organization. For many years the top competition was known as the V.Premier League; after a reform in 2018 the league took the name V.League, following a project called NEW BORN V.LEAGUE that aimed to professionalize the sport, grow volleyball as a sports business and make it the leading arena sport in Japan. Earlier champions are recorded back to the Japan Volleyball League of 1967-68 and through the V League, V.Premier League and V.League Division 1 eras. In 2024 the new SV.League took over as the premier competition, and the V.League continued for clubs that did not join it, with men's and women's divisions each using an East and West conference system.
