The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) plays its games across multiple venues, a majority of which are played within Metro Manila. The PBA has two major venues: the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay. [1] There are also alternative venues within Metro Manila that used by the league whenever neither major venue is unavailable.
The league also occasionally schedules out-of-town games that are played outside of Metro Manila, mostly on Saturdays. The league's All-Star festivities are normally held out-of-town.
Unlike other leagues elsewhere, most sports leagues in the Philippines, with some recent exceptions, are held in a central location. PBA teams are company teams and represent companies and not localities. The PBA itself rents different arenas and gymnasiums in Metro Manila and Antipolo to play a great majority of its games. The PBA reserves a single playing day (usually Saturday) for games hosted by venues outside Metro Manila. The PBA has also sought to build its own arena, with plans dating back to the 2000s.
Listed below are the frequently-used arenas in the PBA, which are mostly located in Metro Manila and Rizal.
