The 2025 AsiaBasket International Invitational was the ninth tournament organized by AsiaBasket and the fourth running of the International Championship. The tournament ran from July 20 to 25, 2025 and featured eight teams representing four countries. All games were held at Playtime Filoil Centre in San Juan, Philippines.[1]
This tournament features eight teams, making it the smallest pool of teams in league history. Five teams represent the Philippines including the debuting UST Growling Tigers. Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) and the United States each have one team. In addition, Canada will be represented for the first time with sole entrant United Prep Canada.
The tournament uses the two-group format used since the 2022 International Championship, with the eight teams divided into two groups of four. From there, each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing three games. All teams will automatically qualify for the single-elimination knockout stage.
On July 22, the league announced that the games scheduled for that day have been cancelled due to conditions brought by the southwest moonsoon. All teams ended up only playing two games each.[3]
In the quarterfinals, the first-seeded teams were matched with the fourth-seeded teams from the opposing group. The same process followed for the second- and third-seeded teams. Teams that won their quarterfinal game advanced to the semifinals while those that lost moved on to the classification bracket.
In the classification round, winning teams competed for fifth place while losing teams competed for seventh place. In the semifinals, winning teams advanced to the championship while losing teams played for the bronze medal.
