The league was formed in 1998,{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-sep-09-sp-20805-story.html |last=Wykes |first=Tris |title=Improved Hueneme Has View From Top |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=1998-09-09 |access-date=2018-06-28 }}{{cite news |url=http://www.thecamarilloacorn.com/news/2014-05-02/Sports/Sink_or_swim_Spartan_prefers_swim_and_sleep.html |title=Sink or swim?

Pacifica High School joined the league when it opened its doors in 2001.
For most of its history, the PVL consisted entirely of schools from the Oxnard Union High School District, including the five charter members (Camarillo, Channel Islands, Hueneme, Oxnard, and Rio Mesa). As of the 2018–19 school year, all member schools are located in or near Oxnard and Ventura in Ventura County, California.
In May 2021, it was announced that the Pacific View League would merge with the Channel League beginning with the 2022–23 academic year, and take on the Channel League name.{{cite news |url=https://www.vcstar.com/story/sports/high-school/2021/05/28/great-shakeup-area-releaguing-brings-biggest-changes-football-programs/7476591002/ |last=Ledin |first=Loren |title=A great shakeup in area releaguing brings biggest changes for football programs |newspaper=Ventura County Star |publisher=Gannett Co., Inc. |date=2021-05-28 |access-date=2022-02-12 |url-access=limited }}{{cite web|url=https://buenaspeaks.org/4575/news/vusd-sports-return-to-channel-league-once-more/ |last=Carrillo|first=Brooklyn |title=VUSD Sports Return to Channel League once more |website=Buena Speaks |date=2022-05-23 |access-date=2024-02-06}}

=Football association with Channel League=
In April 2019, during the biennial releaguing process in the Northern Area of the CIF Southern Section, administrators from member schools approved a proposal to create an association with the Channel League in the sport of football only. The association, composed of the 12 schools from the two leagues combined, assigns each school to one of the leagues, with promotion and relegation taking place every two years. The plan was originally scheduled to begin for the 2020–21 academic year.{{cite news |url=https://www.vcstar.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/04/30/channel-islands-football-program-big-winner-next-releaguing-cycle/3629912002/ |last=Ledin |first=Loren |title=Channel Islands football program the big winner in next releaguing cycle |newspaper=Ventura County Star |publisher=Gannett Co., Inc. |date=2019-04-30 |access-date=2019-05-02 |url-access=limited }} However, the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed its implementation, as the 2020 football season was postponed and shortened; upon the return of sports in early 2021, health officials in Ventura County prohibited schools there from playing teams in adjacent counties (this restriction was later lifted).{{cite news |url=https://www.vcstar.com/story/sports/high-school/2021/02/24/sports-verge-full-return-there-plenty-issues-consider/6800096002/ |last=Ledin |first=Loren |title=With high school sports on verge of full return, there are plenty of issues to consider |newspaper=Ventura County Star |publisher=Gannett Co., Inc. |date=2021-02-24 |access-date=2021-02-24 |url-access=limited |quote=The state allows schools from adjoining counties to match up in athletic events.
