Innovation in PBA format
The Governors’ Cup will mark its return to the PBA calendar this season and the conference, which starts on Aug. 18, is set to unveil a brand new format with the league’s 12 teams split into two groups in the eliminations. Last season, the PBA staged only two conferences, the Commissioner’s Cup won by San Miguel Beer and Philippine Cup won by Meralco, as it reduced its schedule to clear the way for Gilas’ participation in international competitions. The previous Governors’ Cup champion was TNT in 2022-23 when the Tropa defeated Ginebra, 4-2, in the Finals.
