Match statistic records[edit]

Match records[edit]

The match between BanKo Perlas Spikers and Power Smashers holds the record for having the most points scored in a match, with 242. It happened during the 2017 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference with the following set scores: 29–31, 24–26, 25–19, 25–23, 21–19.
The most lopsided match is between the Creamline Cool Smashers and Adamson Lady Falcons during the 2018 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference with set scores of 25–7, 25–11, 25–10, and a total of 103 points. It is also the shortest match in the league, lasting 1 hour and 2 minutes.
The most contested set belongs to the match between the PacificTown-Army Lady Troopers and Choco Mucho Flying Titans during the 2019 Open where the set score reached 39–41 in the first set. Choco Mucho won the grueling set, but PacificTown-Army got the match win.
The match between the BaliPure Purest Water Defenders and the Creamline Cool Smashers holds the record for the most lopsided set in the league. With a set score of 3–25 during the 2021 Premier Volleyball League Open Conference, it is the only set played in the league where a team has won less than five points. Creamline won the set and swept the match.
The match between the Petro Gazz Angels and the PLDT High Speed Hitters, in the 2022 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference, is the longest, lasting 2 hours and 50 minutes. Despite lasting only four sets, the match took a long time due to a controversial delay, under the challenge system, during the tail-end of the fourth set, which lasted an hour and 12 minutes. That crucial system error resulted in Petro Gazz winning the set and handing PLDT their fourth consecutive loss in the conference. However, PLDT could protest in writing one hour after the match before its made official, as they did not sign the scoresheet.^[1]
The match between the Creamline Cool Smashers and Choco Mucho Flying Titans during the Finals Game 2 of the 2023 Premier Volleyball League Second All-Filipino Conference recorded the most-attended match of the Premier Volleyball League, with 24,459 people in attendance, where Creamline eventually bagged their seventh title.
