Check out the MPBL Teams and lineup for the 2022 Regular season Here!
The MPBL or Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League is the biggest basketball league in the Philippines in terms of participating teams. The league started with ten (10) teams in its inaugural season then grew to 26 teams in the second season until it reached 32 clubs in the last full season prior to the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic.
After it went into hiatus in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons due to the pandemic, the MPBL is about to reignite its brand of basketball as Chooks-to-Go will handle the operations of the league moving forward. An invitational tournament will be held on 11-21 December 2021 as a preparation for the league's full season starting 12 June 2022.
22 teams are expected to compete in the upcoming invitational tournament and below are the rosters of each team (This article will be updated as soon as teams will release their roster). Credits to Jayjay Jusayan of Basketball Zone for the advance information.
