PBA Schedules: 2023-2024

Due to some teams competing in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and 2022 Asian Games, the 48th season of the PBA schedule was delayed until November 5, when it was previously meant to start on October 15. As a result, there will only be two Conferences: The Commissioner's Cup, followed by the season-ending Philippine Cup. 

Most games take place on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Any out-of-town game will be hosted on a Saturday. All times listed are in PHT, and match winners will be bold. Upcoming matches will be added closer to the time, so watch this space!
