Coaching changes

Pre-season

• Several players were sanctioned by their respective teams and the PBA due to numerous ligang labas infractions.^[12][13]
• Due to the long off-season, the PBA launched the "PBA on Tour", a months-long series of pre-season games involving all PBA teams played across the country.^[14] Each team played 11 games and were allowed to have 17 players in their roster (but only 16 are allowed to play in a game) which are composed of regular players, 3x3 affiliate team players, free agents, and rookie aspirants.^[15] The tour was held from May 21 to July 30, 2023; there was no playoffs nor a championship series. The Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots finished the tour with the best record, winning all of their 11 games.^[16]
• During the PBA on Tour, TNT Tropang Giga retired the jersey number of Harvey Carey (#4).
• The PBA competition committee proposed several rule changes, most notably the addition of the head coach challenge.^[17][18] Proposed new rules were first implemented during the PBA on Tour. After the tour, the league will assess which rules will be adapted starting the regular season.
• Willie Marcial will remain as the league's commissioner until the 2026–27 season as his contract was extended by the PBA Board of Governors.^[19]
• The PBA Board of Governors relaxed its rules regarding draft-eligible players who refuse to enter the draft and active PBA players who leave the league to play in another league locally or internationally.^[20] These players are no longer required to "sit out" seasons prior to joining the PBA.^[21] The former rule sanctioned these players by barring them from playing in the PBA for at most five years.^[22] Foreign-born Filipinos older than 30 years old are also now allowed to join the draft.^[23]
• The East Asia Super League disbanded the Bay Area Dragons on September 1, 2023, reportedly due to financial reasons.^[24] The EASL mentions "conflict of interest" for managing a team and organizing the league at the same time, as the official reason for dissolving the club.^[25]
• The PBA entered into an acquired agreement with ZOE Broadcasting Network and ABS-CBN Corporation to air the league's games on A2Z. All the ABS-CBN programs were temporarily affected by the changes in programming; A2Z's primetime, afternoon and weekend programming are preempted to give way for the PBA games on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.^{[26][27][28][29][30]} Previously, the games were formerly broadcast on TV5.

Commissioner's Cup

• NorthPort Batang Pier team manager Pido Jarencio was fined ₱20,000 for hurling verbal threats at NLEX Road Warriors import Thomas Robinson during an elimination round game between the two teams.^[31]
• TV5 Network, Inc. entered into an acquired agreement with Nine Media Corporation (NMC) to broadcast selected PBA games on CNN Philippines every Saturday and Sunday.^[32][33]
• Starting from the finals, all PBA games were aired on RPTV, the channel that replaced the now-defunct news channel CNN Philippines.^[34][35] A2Z also canceled the broadcasting of PBA games after the finals' game 5.^[36]
• The league fined Converge FiberXers' Mac Tallo ₱100,000 and Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters' Chris Lalata ₱50,000 for ligang labas infractions.^[37][38] The FiberXers also subsequently terminated Tallo's contract.^[39]
• Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots' Calvin Abueva was fined ₱100,000 for doing mocking gestures towards San Miguel Beermen's head coach Jorge Gallent during game 2 of the Finals.^[40][41]

Philippine Cup

• March 31: Magnolia Chicken Timplados Hotshots' Calvin Abueva was fined ₱20,000 on flashing a dirty finger.
• April 3: The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters wore their throwback 2006 Welcoat Dragons jerseys for the first time. The retro jerseys were worn to honor the first brand the franchise carried from their days participating at the defunct Philippine Basketball League and their first two seasons in the PBA.^[42]
• May 1: San Miguel Beermen retired the jersey number of Arwind Santos (#29) during their game against Blackwater Bossing.
