The invention discloses pre-orientated polyester filament yarn and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps that 1, a fiber-grade PET board is cut into chips, and the PET chips are dried for twice to enable the moisture content of the PET chips to be smaller than or equal to 25 ppm; dried PET chips are fused, hexadecyl trimethyl silver ammonium bromide, 1,1'-sulfo-bis(2-naphthol), 2-hydroxybenzophenone and a nickelous EDTA complex are added after the dried PET chips are completely fused, and after the materials are evenly mixed, filamentation is performed through extrusion forming and cooling is performed; 2, PET yarn obtained in the step 1 is sequentially processed through collecting through a first roller, heating through an upper heating box, twisting through a heater, drawing through a second roller, sizing through a lower heating box, further sizing through a third roller, oiling through an oiling device and forming through a winding roll to obtain the pre-orientated polyester filament yarn, wherein a chemical fiber oiling agent is contained in the oiling device, and the production speed of the pre-orientated polyester filament yarn is controlled at 3300 rad/min. The pre-orientated polyester filament yarn has the better anti-ultraviolet property and the higher breaking strength.
