The 1983 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Open Conference was the third and last conference of the 1983 PBA season. It started on August 28 and ended on December 1, 1983. The tournament is an import-laden format, which requires two imports per each team.

The following format was observed for the conference:

  • Double-round eliminations; 14 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records.
  • The two teams at the bottom of the standings after the elimination round will be eliminated. The top two teams will advance outright to the semifinals.
  • The next four teams will qualify in a single round-robin quarterfinals; the top two teams will advance to the semifinals.
  • Semifinals will be a double round-robin affair with the four remaining teams. [1]
  • The top two teams in the semifinals advance to the best-of-five finals. The last two teams dispute the third-place trophy in a best-of-five playoff.
