Junior Division

edit

Following the President's Cup, the league will hold its usual Junior Division tournaments. There will be three age groups for the first time: 16-under (labelled as Born 2008), 18-under (labelled as Born 2006), and 14-under (labelled as Born 2004). The regional tournaments will be held throughout May and June, followed by the national championships in July. These tournaments will also double as qualifiers for the league's first Global Championship Challenge, set to begin in July.

Media coverage

edit

The Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) serves as the television broadcast partner for the tournament, succeeding Solar Sports. IBC previously broadcast the 2021 MPBL Invitational in December 2021.[1] For streaming, the league partnered with Converge ICT to broadcast the league on FiberTV and Blast TV, the latter being part of a partnership with TAP DMV.

In addition to broadcasting all games on Facebook and YouTube, Bola.TV is added to the league's online portfolio, which features co-streaming with the platform's own sportscasters.
