List of NCAA Final Four results (Philippines)

This is a list of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) men's basketball Final Four results. The list includes NCAA men's basketball games played under the Final Four format since the 1998 season, the year the format was instituted.

Final team standings for men's basketball since 1999.

The results include one-game playoffs where teams tied after the elimination round for a Final Four berth played an extra game to determine which team clinches the higher seed in the playoffs.

Since the NCAA is not a home-and-away league, the position of season host rotates among member universities, and the host pays for the arena rental and other facilities. Since the 2004 season, most Final Four games are held at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the Philippines largest indoor arena, unless the Big Dome is unavailable.

The league uses a modified Shaughnessy playoff system: the top four teams enter the playoffs, while the top two seeds are given the "twice-to-beat" advantage, that is, in order for them to be eliminated in the semifinals, they have to be beaten twice by the #3 and #4 seed, with them needing to win only once in order to advance. The winners in the semifinals dispute the championship trophy in a best-of-three series.

In its institution in 1998, if a team wins all of its elimination round games (the "sweep"), the sweeping team advances outright to the finals possessing the twice-to-beat advantage, while the #3 and #4 seeds figure in a playoff to face the #2 seed. After the San Sebastian juniors team swept the elimination round in 2008, the twice-to-beat incentive was dropped and the finals was turned into a best-of-three series. When the San Beda seniors team swept the elimination round in 2010, the #1 seed has a thrice to beat advantage in the finals, while the opponent has to be beaten twice to be defeated.

Results

For the semifinal columns, the #1 vs. #4 matchup is given first.

Notes
  1. Game 2 of the 1999 Finals was abandoned after a fraca where Letran point guard John Prior elbowed JRC's John Dale Valeña, with Letran leading 83–60. This caused the gallery to pelt debris to the court which caused the NCAA Commissioner to order JRC to concede the game.
  2. With four teams tied for second place in 2008, a mini-tournament was held to determine the 2nd-4th seeds in which the team with the best head-to-head record among the four (SSC-R) meets the team with the worst head-to-head record (JRU), with the other two (Letran and Mapúa) meeting each other in classification games. The winners of both games faced each other for the #2 seed while the losers faced for the #4 seed.
  3. With three teams tied for fourth place in 2017, two tie-breaker games were held to determine who the 4th seed shall be. SSC-R, who has the best head-to-head record among the three, gets a bye, with the other two teams (Letran and Arellano) playing the first tie-breaker game. The winner of the Letran-Arellano game meets SSC-R in the second tie-breaker game.
