The NCAA Season 99 basketball tournaments are the basketball tournaments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) for its 2023–24 season. The tournament is being hosted by José Rizal University. There are two tournaments, the men's tournament for male college students, and the juniors' tournament for male senior high school students.

The San Beda Red Lions defeated the Mapúa Cardinals in the Finals. Both teams split the first two Finals games, then San Beda pulled away late in the fourth quarter of Game 3 to win their first title since 2018. The Cardinals had finished first in the elimination round; they then defeated the Benilde Blazers in the semifinals. Meanwhile, the Lyceum Pirates finished second, and lost to the Red Lions twice in the semifinals to be eliminated. The Blazers then won the first third place playoff in NCAA basketball history against the Pirates.

## Tournament format[edit]

The NCAA is expected to follow the Final Four format used since 1997.

Tonichi Pujante was reappointed basketball commissioner.[1]

Just as in the past two seasons, gamedays are held five days a week, with doubleheaders on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and tripleheaders on Sundays.[2]

A third place playoff will be held for the first time.[3]

### Discipline[edit]

The following were suspended throughout the course of the season:

* Will Gozum of the Benilde Blazers for being ejected against the Letran Knights in Game 3 of the Season 98 finals. Served one-game suspension on their first game of Season 99 against the Lyceum Pirates.[34]
* Jielo Razon of the Perpetual Altas for being called for an unsportsmanlike foul against the San Sebastian Stags on their last game of Season 98. Served one-game suspension on their first game of Season 99 against the EAC Generals.[35]
* Three referees of the first round game between JRU and Benilde were suspended for two weeks due to "failure to execute sound judgement, inefficient use of the Instant Replay System review, as well as for ceasing to assert themselves as game officials". JL delos Santos was supposed to be suspended due to an unsportsmanlike foul on this game, but commissioner Tonichi Pujante reversed the unsportsmanlike foul (and the suspension that goes with it) against the former as his elbow "did not connect" with Benilde's Mark Sangco.[36]
* Shawn Umali of the Lyceum Pirates for being ejected against the San Beda Red Lions. Served one game suspension against the EAC Generals.[37]
* Coach Yuri Escueta of the San Beda Red Lions for being ejected against the Lyceum Pirates. Served one game suspension against the JRU Heavy Bombers. Andre Santos coached San Beda against JRU on an interim basis.[38]
* Coach Louie Gonzalez of the JRU Heavy Bombers for being ejected against the Benilde Blazers. Served one game suspension against the Letran Knights. Alex Callueng coached JRU against Letran on an interim basis.[39]
