List of MPBL venues

Last updated

In the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), games are played in various venues across the country. This list includes all venues the MPBL has used for their games. 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.

Contents

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.
