The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) was founded in December 2021 by former officials of another league; the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, namely its former CEO Rocky Chan and former COO Chelito Caro. [1] Chan assumed the post of PSL president and Caro as the league commissioner. [2] Former professional basketballer Marc Pingris was appointed as commissioner in January 2022, succeeding Caro. [3] [4] There are also under-21 and under-18 divisions. [5] The league then subsequently held its first tournament: the Pearl of the Orient Cup.

In mid-2023, PSL underwent new management changes with the entry of new president Cris Bautista and league commissioner Allan Caidic. [6] After they left the PSL, the former management went on creating another basketball league, Sinag Liga Asya.

Format

In the current format, all participating teams first play in a single round-robin tournament, wherein every team is expected to play one game against each of the other teams. In 2022, the PSL used a double round-robin format. Qualified teams then advance to the playoffs, which mostly involves best-of-three series, with the overall format varied across different tournaments.
