Rule changes

The PBA competition committee approved the rule changes for implementation starting in the Philippine Cup games:^[26]^[27]

Rule changes (effective for the 2022 PBA Philippine Cup)
The offensive player's "side-swipe" motion to create a contact on a defender's extended arm will only be considered as a "regular" foul and not a "shooting" foul. Referees are now allowed to give a warning to players who may have already incurred a flagrant foul or any player from the same team for any unsportsmanlike conduct. Floppers will now be given an outright non-unsportsmanlike technical foul. Players located beyond the three point arc during a free throw situation are now allowed to enter the paint once the ball is released by the free throw shooter. A defensive player stopping an offensive player without the ball in transition will be charged with a deliberate foul, regardless of clear path. A player who has the control of the ball but is lying on the ground can no longer call a timeout.

Notable events

Pre-season

The PBA Board of Governors approved the return of the three-conference format this season.^[1]
Ricky Vargas of TNT Tropang Giga was re-elected for a fifth consecutive term as the Chairman of the PBA Board of Governors. Bobby Rosales of Terrafirma Dyip was re-elected as Vice Chairman, while Raymond Zorilla of the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters was elected as treasurer. Vargas is currently the longest-serving head of the PBA Board of Governors since the presidency of Ginebra San Miguel's Carlos "Honeyboy" Palanca III (1983 to 1986) and the chairmanship of Formula Shell's Reynaldo Marquez (1987 to 1990).^[28]

Philippine Cup

The PBA D-League opened its first tournament, the 2022 Aspirant's Cup for the first time in two years on July 7.^[29]

Opening ceremonies

The opening ceremony for this season was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on June 5, 2022, hosted by Vhong Navarro and Gretchen Ho. The PBA Leo Awards for the 2021 season was held before the opening ceremonies.
