The PBA Finals Most Valuable Player) is a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) award given to the best performing player of a conference finals series as voted by the PBA Press Corps. Usually, the award is given to a player from the conference champion team and is always given at the end of the finals series. [1] The award can only be given to Filipino or Filipino-foreigner players, and not the team's import. [2]
The award was first given out after the 1996 All-Filipino Cup finals. Beginning with the 2025–26 Philippine Cup finals, recipients were given the Ramon Fernandez Trophy, named after the 19-time PBA champion Ramon Fernandez. [3]
June Mar Fajardo has the most Finals MVPs with five. [4] Danny Seigle, Brandon Cablay, and Mikey Williams are the only rookies to win the award, with Williams winning it in his first conference.
