PSL is a semi-professional volleyball league in the Philippines and is also one of the most followed sports among Filipinos. Live and VOD games of PSL can also be viewed in Mavshack.

With this, Mavshack can now truly grow its subscriber base in view of its strong and complete line up which now offers TV series, movies, news and current affairs and sports," says Rainier David, CEO Mavshack.
