The Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) Playoffs of the 2023 season will begin on October 6, 2023. Sixteen (16) teams, with top eight (8) from each division, are left to contend for the MPBL National Championship trophy.
The Pampanga Giant Lanterns are the heavy favorites to win the championship trophy considering their 26-2 record in the elimination round. With Justine Baltazar and Encho Serrano powering the Lanterns, a showdown against the defending champions Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards will definitely be a blockbuster.
In the North Division, Pampanga Giant Lanterns will play against the Marikina Shoemasters. Nueva Ecija is pitted against Pasay Voyagers while Makati and San Juan will battle once again in the Playoffs. Lastly, the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo will face the Pasig MCW Sports.
The South Division is equally competitive with the first seed Bacoor City Strikers playing against Iloilo United Royals. Second seed Batangas City Embassy Chill is matched against Imus SV Squad. Third seed General Santos Warriors will battle against Muntinlupa Cagers. Lastly, Zamboanga and Quezon will compete against each other. The team with the homecourt advantage, however, is yet to be determined since Quezon will have to play Marikina on October 03, 2023.
