Season 78 will be hosted by University of the Philippines. Season 77, which is currently on-going, is being hosted by University of the East.
The opening of Season 78 will take place close to two months after the typical opening day of the league in previous years due to the shift in the academic calendars of the universities.
The popular men’s basketball tournament of the UAAP, which normally lasts from early July up to late September or early October, will now be held from early September up to December, according to Molina.
