== Overview ==
* The [[Bataan Risers]] entered the playoffs for the second consecutive season, and clinched the best record in the league for the first time in team history.
* The [[Davao Occidental Tigers]] entered the playoffs for the first time, and clinched the best record in the South Division for the first time in team history. 
* The [[Batangas City Athletics]], [[Bulacan Kuyas]], [[Muntinlupa Cagers]], [[Navotas Clutch]], and [[Quezon City Capitals]] entered the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
* The [[Bacoor City Strikers]], [[Caloocan Supremos]], [[Cebu City Sharks]], [[GenSan Warriors]], [[Imus Bandera]], [[Makati Super Crunch]], [[Manila Stars]], [[San Juan Knights]], and [[Zamboanga Family's Brand Sardines]] entered the playoffs for the first time in team history.

==Format==
Due to the league's expansion, the playoff was expanded to feature sixteen teams instead of eight. The top eight teams from each division advanced to the playoffs. Seeding was based on winning percentage, with tiebreaker rules applied should multiple teams have the same record. The single-elimination bracket consists of four rounds with no reseeding. The first three rounds were [[best-of-three]] series and the national finals was a [[best-of-five]] series.

During the first two rounds, two games within the same division were played in a gameday, with [[homecourt advantage]] alternating between the higher-seeded teams of each series. A traditional homecourt format was then used for the last two rounds, with the division finals using a 1-1-1 format and the national finals using a 2-2-1 format. The designated home team may not be able to play within its home locality. Should it occur, the gameday may take place elsewhere.
