VBTV continues to solidify its position as the home of world volleyball.
Volleyball World proudly announces a significant expansion of its coverage: every match of the 2025–26 Daido-Life SV.LEAGUE (SVL) will be available live and on-demand on VBTV, its official streaming platform, reaching a global audience.
This marks a historic first for the SVL, as the entire season will be accessible to an international viewership, highlighting the league`s rapid growth and increasing global appeal. This development builds upon Volleyball World’s existing long-term partnership with SVL, established in October 2024, which initially introduced international broadcasts and laid the groundwork for broader global distribution.
While fans in Japan and certain other Asian regions will continue to watch the SV.LEAGUE through their established local broadcast partners, VBTV will offer comprehensive, uninterrupted coverage of the 2025–26 season to viewers everywhere else.
Key Developments
- Complete Coverage: The entire 2025–26 SV.LEAGUE season will be broadcast on VBTV.
- Global Access: For the first time, all SVL matches will be available worldwide, excluding regions with pre-existing broadcast agreements.
- Sustained Local Partnerships: Japanese fans and those in specific Asian markets will maintain access via their domestic broadcasters.
- Enhanced International Presence: This move reflects the rising prominence of the SV.LEAGUE and growing international interest in Japanese volleyball.
- VBTV Portfolio Growth: This addition further enhances VBTV`s offering, complementing its existing broadcasts of premier international tournaments with more professional league action.
- Premier Volleyball Destination: With over 2.5 million subscribers, VBTV reinforces its standing as the ultimate platform for accessing top teams, athletes, and competitions in the sport.
Leadership Perspectives
