The UP Fighting Maroons are the collegiate men's basketball team of the University of the Philippines Diliman, which play in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the premiere sports league in the country.
UP is one of the founding members (1938) of the UAAP. It was also a founding member and the originator of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the year 1924. [1] Prior to the establishment of the Diliman campus, the campus was in what is now University of the Philippines Manila.
The Fighting Maroons won their first championship title in the inaugural season of the NCAA (1924–1925). They also became the champions in NCAA Season 1 (1925–1926), and NCAA Season 2 (1926–1927), winning three consecutive titles. The Fighting Maroons won their last championship in the NCAA in Season 5 (1929–1930). After six years, the Fighting Maroons permanently withdrew from competing in NCAA.
In 1938, Far Eastern University, National University, the University of the Philippines and the University of Santo Tomas formed the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. [2] UP Fighting Maroons won their first championship in the UAAP in UAAP Season 2 (1939–1940).
As of 2025, the Fighting Maroons have won four championship titles in UAAP men's basketball.

Until 1997, the UAAP primarily ranked the teams by tournament points using FIBA's method. Starting in 1998, the UAAP primarily ranked by winning percentage. There's no difference in ranking once all games were played, but in the middle of the season, rankings made by these two methods may differ.
