The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) is a men's professional basketball league in the Philippines.
The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) was founded in December 2021 by former officials of another league; the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, namely its former CEO Rocky Chan and former COO Chelito Caro.[1] Chan assumed the post of PSL president and Caro as the league commissioner.[2] Former professional basketballer Marc Pingris was appointed as commissioner in January 2022, succeeding Caro.[3] [4] There are also under-21 and under-18 divisions.[5]
The league then subsequently held its first Pro Division tournament: the Pearl of the Orient Cup, which saw eight teams compete in venues across Mindanao. Among the teams were two that moved from the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL): the Basilan Peace Riders and Davao Occidental Tigers, the latter of which became the inaugural champions. The second Pro Division tournament then came later that year with the DUMPER Cup, which saw sixteen teams compete. It was eventually won by the Pampanga G Lanterns, after defeating the defending champion Tigers.
In mid-2023, PSL underwent new management changes with the entry of new president Cris Bautista and league commissioner Allan Caidic.[6] After they left the PSL, the former management went on creating another basketball league, Sinag Liga Asya. The new management went on to start the third Pro Division tournament, the President's Cup. The President's Cup is the league's biggest to date, with 19 competing teams, eventually concluding with the Quezon Titans being crowned the champions.
On May 8, 2024, the PSL became a stakeholder in the country's national basketball federation, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.
The PSL is set for the PSL Ballout Invitational Tournament which will begin in December 2024.
In the current format, all participating teams first play in a single round-robin tournament, wherein every team is expected to play one game against each of the other teams. In 2022, the PSL used a double round-robin format. Qualified teams then advance to the playoffs, which mostly involves best-of-three series, with the overall format varied across different tournaments.
The following teams are confirmed to compete in the 2024–25 season.
