## Notes[edit]

1. ^ The 2018 season had no division alignment, thus there were no division champions.
2. ^ The San Juan Knights and Davao Occidental Tigers tied for best record in the 2019–20 season. San Juan won the head-to-head matchup, thus winning the tiebreaker.
3. ^ The Navotas–Rizal game was not resumed for player safety, thus both teams only played 29 games.
4. ^ The Laguna–Manila game was cancelled due to volcanic smog, thus both teams only played 27 games.
