List of MPBL venues
In the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), games are played in various venues across the country. Every team in the league has a designated home venue that is used throughout the season, and is where the team plays its home games. The final game of each gameday, the primetime game, usually has the host team participating in the game.
Some teams may also play their home games in a nearby market, such as in 2024, when the Parañaque Patriots and Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters played home games in Las Piñas and San Jose, Batangas, respectively.[1][2] Occasionally, the designated home team may not be able to play within its home locality, which can cause the gameday to be played elsewhere.[3]
Similar to the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the MPBL schedules out-of-town gamedays as part of the Invasion series. These games are normally played in Visayas and Mindanao. Invasion games are also played in Luzon whenever the league plays far from the Greater Manila Area.
In this list, most on-campus venues are listed with the name of the institution it is based in, with the actual name of the venue being placed in parentheses.
