2026 Nxled Chameleons season

The 2026 Nxled Chameleons season is the fourth season of the Nxled Chameleons in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). Before the season began, Nxled was reported to be part of a proposed merger with the Petro Gazz Angels, a move that was disallowed by the league on January 7.[1] From January 13–15, Nxled entered a series of player acquisitions, including a majority of the Petro Gazz roster, culminating with the signing of star players Brooke Van Sickle, MJ Phillips, and Myla Pablo.[2]
