The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) is a men's professional basketball league in the Philippines.
History
Original logo of the Pilipinas Super League, used from 2022 until 2023.
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]
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. The start of the Bautista–Caidic era also brought a new identity to the league.
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.
