| PBA conference chronology | |
The 2023–24 PBA Commissioner's Cup is the first conference of the 2023–24 PBA season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 21st edition of the Commissioner's Cup started on November 5, 2023, and will end in early 2024. The tournament allows teams to hire foreign players or imports with a height limit of 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 metres).
The opening was originally scheduled on October 15,[1] but was moved three weeks past the original date to give players that participated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the 2022 Asian Games time to rest.[2]
Guest team and previous Commissioner's Cup runner-up Bay Area Dragons were supposed to compete during the conference, but the team was disbanded by their owners, the East Asia Super League, prior to the start of the conference.[3]
Format
- All participating teams play in a single round-robin elimination. Each team is expected to play 11 games throughout the duration of the conference.
- Teams are ranked by win-loss records with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. Any ties will be broken using tiebreaker criteria.
- If there is a tie for 8th place, a one-game playoff is instead used to determine which team gets the final playoff spot.
- The playoff format is as follows:
- Quarterfinals (twice-to-beat for top four):
- Matches: 1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th, 3rd vs. 6th, 4th vs. 5th
- Semifinals (best-of-five series):
- Matches: 1st/8th vs. 4th/5th; 2nd/7th vs. 3rd/6th
- Finals (best-of-seven series)
- Quarterfinals (twice-to-beat for top four):
