Top five foreign players to watch out for at Prime Volleyball League 2025

The fourth edition of the Prime Volleyball League 2025 is set to take place from October 2 to 26 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad. A total of 38 games, including semifinal and final, will take place in the competition among 10 teams.

Calicut Heroes are the defending champions after they secured a victory against Delhi Toofans in the final last year. However, the 2025 auction in June might prove to be a game-changer for other teams, who will look to win their maiden title.

Each team formed a squad of 14 members, which had a maximum of two foreign players. Although the league intends to promote Indian talent, they have also added overseas players to grow the league and market itself as a strong platform for the sport.

On that note, let’s take a look at the top foreign players to watch out for in PVL 2025.
