Known to be Asia’s first professional basketball league, the PBA has always been a staple when it comes to Philippine basketball with aspiring professional athletes making their dreams a reality by joining the league. One of the highlights during the event was the renewal of partnership between PBA and ArenaPlus, a PAGCOR licensed and the Philippines’ best online sportsbook.

The PBA’s commitment in supporting the Gilas Pilipinas Men’s National Team and preparing them for the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and the 2026 Asia Games in Japan are the main reasons for the league to extend its season through late 2026.
