Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Metro Manila, the preceding season, NCAA Season 95 was terminated. This meant tournaments that were ongoing or have not been started were all canceled. No championships were decided on canceled tournaments, and no general champions were named. The Management Committee has recommended on starting the athletic year in November, instead of the usual July schedule, with President Rodrigo Duterte moving the start of the academic year to September.[2] The season will only hold four tournaments featuring the league's four mandatory sports; athletics (track and field), basketball, volleyball, and swimming with online chess and esports being considered as potential exhibition sports.[3][4]
This will also be the first season where foreigners with no Filipino parent are banned from playing.[5]
At the same time, due to ABS-CBN Sports+Action stopping broadcast (alongside ABS-CBN), games would be aired in a yet to be announced channel.
