NCAA Season 101 was the 101st season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) of the Philippines. Held during the 2025–26 academic year, the season is hosted by Mapúa University. The opening ceremony was held on October 1, 2025.

Background

Logo

On August 25, 2025, the NCAA announced a new logo that was created as part of a logo-making contest. The new logo was created by Jeffrey Salut and uses "NCAA Philippines" for the wordmark similar to that of the Season 100 logo.^[1]

Basketball

With Metro Manila hosting the 2025 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship, the NCAA decided to delay the opening ceremonies to October 1. In order to finish the season in December, the NCAA also decided to change the tournament format for this season, mixing elements of the NBA play-in tournament and the U.S. NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.^[2]
