The 2016 Philippine Super Liga season was the fourth season of the Philippine Super Liga (PSL). The season started with the return of the Invitational Cup, followed by the All-Filipino and the Grand Prix conferences. The second edition of the Beach Volleyball Challenge Cup was also held.

The PSL was also chosen to organize two international volleyball tournaments for the year - the 2016 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship[1] and the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship[2] - both of which were staged in the Philippines.

Background

The calendar of events for the 2016 season was finalized during the planning session between the league officials and team owners on November 11, 2015.[3]

Starting this season, teams will offer annual exclusive contracts, instead of per-conference agreements with their players. The annual contracts will require players to play exclusively for their PSL clubs.[4]

On September 16 to 25, selected PSL players will conduct exhibition games in the United States. After the conferences, the PSL will be holding the first Grand Volleyball Awards Night dedicated to the outstanding players and coaches who have greatest achievements in the past five conferences.

The PSL (SportsCore Event Management and Consultancy, Inc.), together with the Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI), will handle the hosting of the 2016 Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship on September 3 to 11, 2016 to be held either Mall of Asia Arena or Philsports Arena, and the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship on October 18 to 23, 2016 also at the MoA Arena.[5]

In cooperation with the Quezon City Pride Council, the PSL organized a two-day volleyball competition called "1st Quezon City Pride Volleyball Cup" on February 6–7, 2016. It was claimed as the first volleyball league in the Philippines for the LGBTs.[6] Team Circle led by Jolas Lopez, beat Braganza team, in 4 sets, to claim the inaugural title of the QCPVC.[7]

In June 2016, the PSL, together with the LVPI, conducted a 5-day seminar for local setters spearheaded by former South Korean men's national volleyball team head coach Kim Keung Un held at the LVPI Volleyball Center in the Arellano University campus, Manila.[8]

During the 2016 Philippine Super Liga All-Filipino Conference, the league introduced its mascot named "Spikey".[9]

On July 12, 2016, the PSL named F2 Logistics Cargo Movers middle blocker Mika Reyes as the ambassadress of the league for the 2016 season.[10]
