Major League Volleyball Appoints First Commissioner
Major League Volleyball has named Jaime Weston as its first-ever Commissioner. The appointment marks a key moment for the third-year professional women's volleyball league as it seeks to grow its national profile.
Weston brings to the league over two decades of experience in sports, media, and entertainment. She previously served as the Chief Commercial Officer for USA Volleyball and spent more than 15 years in the front office of the National Football League, where she focused on accelerating fan growth and modernizing the brand. Her resume also includes executive roles at Universal Music Group and the live event company On Location. The appointment of a commissioner signals a new phase of centralized leadership for Major League Volleyball, which is now in its third season. The league is the result of a 2025 merger between two competing entities: the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) and a startup also named Major League Volleyball. The unified league adopted the MLV name and structure, with the 2026 season considered its third official campaign. The league currently features eight teams, including franchises in Atlanta, Dallas, Omaha, and San Diego. This structure was established after the Pro Volleyball Federation's first two seasons, which saw significant milestones, including a total attendance of over 750,000 and an All-Star Match that peaked at 445,000 viewers on CBS. Major League Volleyball has aggressive expansion plans, with new teams set to launch in Northern California, Washington D.C., and Minneapolis-St. Paul in 2027. The league has attracted a high-profile group of investors, including Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé, recording artist Jason Derulo, and three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings.
