The UAAP Season 87 collegiate division football tournament started on September 15, 2024. Both the collegiate and high school divisions were played at the UP Diliman Football Stadium in Quezon City. This marks the first season to feature the collegiate division on the first semester to avoid the summer heats in the second semester while the high school boys' division will remain on the second semester.[1]

This is also the first time guest teams are invited, with Claret School and PAREF-Southridge signing a MOA with UAAP to join in the High School Boys' Division which will start on January 18, 2025.[2]

Tournament format

The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format for the Men's Division. A double round-robin elimination round format with a knockout Final Four if no team sweeps the elimination round and a stepladder format if a team sweeps the elimination round. Women's division will also feature a double round-robin elimination round with the top two teams proceeding to the finals.[3]

After signing a Memorandum of Agreement with Claret School and PAREF-Southridge, that allows them to participate as guest teams this season[4], UAAP Football High School Boys' Division will have a double round-robin elimination with a knockout Final Four. The top two teams will hold a twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals.
