The UAAP Season 78 high school volleyball tournament started on August 22, 2015. The tournament venue is the Adamson University Gym in San Marcelino St., Ermita, Manila. Adamson is the tournament host. The number of participating schools in the boys' and girls' tournaments both increased to seven. Far Eastern University fielded boys' and girls' volleyball teams beginning season 77. Since there are now seven participating schools, the tournaments have a Final Four format. The UAAP Board decided to move the high school volleyball tournaments from 2nd semester to 1st semester due to the basketball juniors tournament being moved from the 1st semester to 2nd semester.
The UAAP Season 78 seniors' division volleyball tournament started on January 31, 2016. Originally, before the schedule was moved, the UAAP Season 78 seniors' division volleyball tournament opening was scheduled on February 13 and January 30. The tournament main venue is the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan City while selected games were played at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig, Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, and the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay. UP is the tournament host.
Ateneo De Manila University Blue Eagles claimed their back to back title after beating the National University Bulldogs in Games 1 and 2 of the best of 3 series.
On the other hand, the De La Salle University Lady Spikers won their 9th crown after defeating the defending champions Ateneo De Manila Lady Eagles in the do-or-die game of the finals.
