The 2024–25 PBA season, also referred to as PBA season 49, was the 49th season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The season began on August 18, 2024 and concluded on July 25, 2025.

The league reverts to a three-conference format starting with the Governors' Cup after being omitted last season. This is then followed by the Commissioner's Cup and the season-ending Philippine Cup, the latter also coincided with the league's 50th anniversary.^[1]^[2]^[3] The first two conferences allows an import per team while the last tournament is exclusive to Filipinos.^[4]

The first activity of the season was the PBA season 49 draft, held on July 14.^[5]^[6]

50th anniversary events

This season, the PBA began the celebration of its 50th anniversary with events that will continue through the following 2025–26 season, the league's 50th season. On April 2, 2025, ten players were added to the Greatest Players List, expanding the list to the 50 Greatest Players in PBA History.^[7]

On April 9, 2025, the exact date of the league's golden anniversary, two games of this season's Philippine Cup were held at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. In the latter game, the Meralco Bolts and San Miguel Beermen wore throwback jerseys honoring their company's basketball history.^[8]

Season changes

In order to help the league and its teams prepare for international competitions such as the East Asia Super League and Basketball Champions League Asia, the league's traditional conference order was reversed to have the two import-laden conferences played first. Those two conferences also saw format changes this season, which were as follows:

The Governors' Cup now have teams be divided into two groups, where each group is expected to follow a double round-robin elimination format. The top 4 teams in each group advance to the playoffs beginning with the crossover quarterfinals.
While the Governors' Cup's height limit for imports still stands at 6 ft 6 in (198 cm), the Commissioner's Cup's height limit of 6 ft 10 in (208 cm) is scrapped outright.^[4]^[3]

Similar to the previous season, the Philippine Cup will remain as the season-culminating conference.
