New coaching appointments include Tsuzurabara and Reyes, while notable player movements feature veterans and rising stars like Galang, Paat, Hernandez, Palma, Saet, General, and Tubino. The team seems poised to balance experience with fresh energy in the coming season.
Capital1 has been quietly assembling a solid core, adding Gaston, Jorvina, Madrigal, Ronquillo, Jimenez, Nunag, Adorador, and Nabor. The blend of established names and promising talent could make Capital1 a competitive squad in 2026.
PLDT has made a high-profile signing in Rodriguez, while Cignal adds Perez to its lineup, indicating selective yet strategic reinforcements
Akari has reinforced its lineup with Carandang, Soreno, and Abil, while Nxled has undergone a major revamp, signing Sabete, Marano, Cheng, Ogunsanya, Musa, Tiamzon, Tempiatura, Pineda, Cagande, Adolfo, Tolentino, Pablo, Phillips, and Van Sickle.
Nxled’s influx of new talent could make them one of the offseason’s most intriguing teams to watch.
Meanwhile, Galeries Tower is making one of the most notable moves this offseason.
With Esteban taking over as coach, the team has brought in a large cohort of players, including Barbon, Raagas, Angeles, Ebon, Versoza, Victoria, Deloria, Ancheta, Alvarez, Maizo-Pontillas, Samonte, Pascual, Puzon, and Mangulabnan. Such a deep roster suggests Galeries Tower is aiming for both depth and versatility.
With these moves, the PVL is shaping up for a season of fierce competition and fresh rivalries. Fans can expect both veteran leadership and rising stars to light up the court as teams finalize their rosters and head into training camps in early 2026.
