The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) announced the cancellation of its ongoing Season 82 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the imposition of a community quarantine in Metro Manila.

All remaining high school events were terminated, leading to the University of Santo Tomas and Adamson University being declared co-champions in girls' basketball.

The seniors division competitions were also officially ended.

Despite the cancellation, the UAAP stated they might still push through with an alternative format for the remainder of the collegiate calendar.

This potential resumption is contingent on the government declaring it safe to resume classes on April 15, 2020, and lifting the prohibition on mass gatherings.

If conditions permit, the league aims to start alternative competitions no earlier than May 1, 2020.
