The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) was founded in December 2021 by former officials of the
Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, namely its former
CEO Rocky Chan and former
COO Chelito Caro. Chan assumed the post of PSL president and Caro the post of league commissioner. Former professional basketballer
Marc Pingris was appointed as commissioner in January 2022, succeeding Caro. There are also under-21 and under-18 divisions. The league then subsequently held its first Pro Division tournament: the
Pearl of the Orient Cup, which saw eight teams compete in venues across
Mindanao. Among the teams were two that moved from the
Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL): the
Basilan Peace Riders and
Davao Occidental Tigers, the latter of which became the inaugural champions. The second Pro Division tournament then came later that year with the
DUMPER Cup, which saw sixteen teams compete. It was eventually won by the
Pampanga G Lanterns, after defeating the defending champion Tigers. In mid-2023, PSL underwent new management changes with the entry of new president Cris Bautista and league commissioner
Allan Caidic. After they left the PSL, the former management went on creating another basketball league,
Sinag Liga Asya. The new management went on to start the third Pro Division tournament, the
President's Cup. The President's Cup is the league's biggest to date, with 19 competing teams, eventually concluding with the
Quezon Titans being crowned the champions. On May 8, 2024, the PSL became a stakeholder in the country's national basketball federation, the
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas. The PSL is set for the PSL President's Cup 2024–2025 which will begin on December 21, 2024 at
Filoil EcoOil Centre in
San Juan. ==Format==
