The UAAP Season 87 basketball tournaments are the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball tournaments for the 2024–25 school year. The University of the Philippines Diliman are the hosts.
Tournament format
[edit]The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format.
Xavy Nunag was named basketball commissioner for the third consecutive year. Assisting him are hisn deputies Mariana Lopa and Marvin Bienvenida who will supervise the women’s and high school basketball tournaments, respectively. The UAAP also announced the return of the girls' tournament, last played in 2020.[1]
Teams customarily assigned to wear light jerseys during certain games would be allowed to wear dark uniforms instead as long as Commissioner's Office permits. This privilege was not exercised last Season 86 when this change was introduced. . The Green Archers is set to be the first team to take advantage of the new rule in their scheduled opening game against Ateneo.[2]
Teams
[edit]Basketball is a mandatory event in the UAAP, where all 8 universities are required to field in teams.
The girls' tournament is a demonstration sport last held in 2020, and is not mandatory.
