The regular season began on November 23, 2022.
All participating teams played in a single round-robin format, unlike the double round-robin in the previous season. The top eight teams advance to a three-round, single-elimination playoff bracket. In the quarterfinals, the higher-seeded team is given twice-to-beat advantage. The semifinals and finals use standard best-of-three series.
Each team plays each other once. Number of asterisks after each score denotes number of overtimes played.
The playoffs began on March 13, 2023.
The PSL held its first ever All-Star Game on March 18, 2023 at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga. There were two teams, the Luzon All-Stars and the VisMin All-Stars. The team each all-star is placed is based on where the player is based in and not the team itself. Twelve players were placed in each team alongside one guest player.
The game ended in a tie, with both teams scoring 123 points each. Gabby Espinas of the Luzon All-Stars and Orlan Wamar Jr. of the VisMin All-Stars were declared co-MVPs.
