The tournament began from July 21 to 30, 2023 at the Villar Coliseum in Las Piñas with 10 teams from both collegiate and professional clubs.[1]
It is also the first tournament since Summer 2022 to be held in the Philippines as well as the first since Subic 2021 to feature an all-Filipino lineup. The league originally intended to use the original FilBasket moniker under these circumstances,[2] but ultimately, the AsiaBasket name was still used.

The first round is a crossover quarterfinals, where one team from both groups is matched against one another. The winning teams advance to the next round. In the semifinals, the losing teams advance to a third place game.
