The league, which previously added volleyball, 3x3 basketball, and esports, will launch its eighth season on October 9 at the Playtime Filoil Centre in San Juan.

UCAL plans to introduce U19 basketball and more Olympic sports in the future as it aims to mandate all member schools to field teams in various sports.

UCAL chairman Horacio Lim stated that the addition of new sports requires all member schools to have existing programs and competitive teams to ensure a full-force tournament.

Centro Escolar University will host the upcoming season, with Olivarez College aiming to defend its men's basketball championship.
