Volleyball in Osaka

The predecessor of the V.League, the Japan League (All Japan Volleyball Selected Men's and Women's League), started in 1967. Years have passed since then, and the V.LEAGUE was launched in the 2018-19 season.
The SV League will be launched above the V League in 2024, with the aim of becoming fully professional in the future.

Of the 10 men's teams in the SV League, three - Sakai Blazers, Suntory Sunbirds, and Panasonic Panthers - and the women's team, Osaka Marvelous, are all based in Osaka.
