The 2023 Philippine NCAA will open a brand new season of men's basketball on September 24, 2023 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The JRU Heavy Bombers and defending Champion Letran Knights will open the festivities at 3:00 PM as the Knights aim to defend their crown and extend their championship run to four (4).
The Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) Pirates will take last year's 1st runner-up College of St. Benilde (CSB) Blazers on the 2nd game at 05:30 PM. The Blazers will have to play without their MVP Will Gozum who needs to sit out a game due to his suspension last season.
The opening games will be played at the Mall of Asia Arena while the succeeding matches will be held at the Filoil Ecooil Center in San Juan City. GMA is once again the broadcast partner of the NCAA, and the matches will be aired live on GTV as well as via Youtube and Facebook Livestreams.
