MANILA, Philippines \u2014Only 11 of the 38 aspirants were chosen within the 2026 Premier Volleyball League Rookie Draft on Wednesday night at Novotel, with no team making a range beyond the second round.<\/p>\n
PVL Control Committee chairman Sherwin Malonzo admitted the third edition of the draft was difficult, with several talented players left undrafted as teams opted to follow veteran-laden rosters.<\/p>\n
LIST: Who each team picked within the 2026 PVL Rookie Draft<\/strong><\/p>\n The situation was further affected by the leave of absence of Cignal, the third PVL team to go on hiatus after Chery Tiggo and Petro Gazz, which led to more players being absorbed by the remaining clubs.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been loads of latest talents, but what stood out this yr was that the majority teams are still loaded. I assume teams aren\u2019t able to let go of their veteran players yet because they still bring loads of value,\u201d Malonzo told the reporters in Filipino.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the identical time, some teams went on leave of absence, so their players were dispersed among the many remaining nine teams. I feel that\u2019s also a think about why fewer players were chosen this yr. There have been still quite just a few picks, but in comparison with previous years, the number was lower.\u201d<\/p>\n PVL: It doesn\u2019t end here.<\/p>\n PVL president Ricky Palou and Control Committee Chairman Sherwin Malonzo confer with the undrafted players. #PVLDraft<\/a> #PVL2026<\/a> @inquirersports<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/UahTrFgkLh<\/a><\/p>\n\n
