The ceremony kicked off with an intermission number led by the NU Chorale, NU Underdawgz and the NU Pep Squad. The three-time NBA champion, Stephen Curry graced the opening ceremonies and led the oath of sportsmanship sworn by the various athletes of each UAAP school. Aside from Curry's appearance, a number of entertainment acts made up the opening festivities. Local artists Sponge Cola and James Reid and South Korean singer-songwriter and former member of South Korean girl group 2NE1, Minzy performed inside the jam-packed arena.[2]

A basketball double header started off after the opening ceremonies. UP vs. UE at 2p.m. and followed by NU vs. UST at 4p.m.

The number of participating schools in the boys' and girls' tournaments increased to eight and seven, respectively. Far Eastern University fielded boys' and girls' volleyball teams beginning season 77. Adamson fielded a boys' team starting season 79. Since there are now more than six participating schools in each tournament, both tournaments will have a Final Four format.
