Notes

^ Defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles was initially announced to compete but was replaced by PCU Dolphins due to collegiate commitments.

Format

The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, from there each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing four games.

The top four teams from each group will then advance to a three-round, single-elimination playoff bracket, with every round being a single-game knockout. 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.
