2025 MPBL finals


The 2025 MPBL finals was the championship series of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League's 2025 season and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. The best-of-five series concluded with the North Division champion Abra Solid North Weavers defeating the South Division champion Quezon Huskers. The series began on December 11, and ended on December 16. The North Weavers' Jason Brickman was named as the MPBL Finals MVP.
This is the third consecutive finals series that a sweep was completed after Pampanga went on to win back-to-back championships in 2023 and 2024. Abra held homecourt advantage, as they hold sole possession of the best regular season record in 2025.
This was the first finals in league history to feature a team from Northern Luzon, as the Weavers originate from Cordillera, and the first since 2021 to not feature a team from Central Luzon. For the third straight season, a team from Calabarzon was represented.

Background

Abra Solid North Weavers

After losing to the eventual champion Pampanga Giant Lanterns in the North Division quarterfinals in their inaugural season, the team made numerous acquisitions leaning towards younger talent. The team signed Dave Ildefonso, Geo Chiu, Jason Brickman, and Encho Serrano among others.
Abra's rebuild towards youth ended up paying off big time as the Weavers dominated the regular season, going 28–1. The team put together a 26-game winning streak, surpassing Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards' mark of 25 from 2022, and breaking a tie for most regular season wins in a season, which was shared by five different teams.
Their dominant form continued in the playoffs. They first swept expansion team Ilagan Isabela Cowboys in the division quarterfinals, and then eliminated the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo in the division semifinals with another two-game sweep. They then met an unlikely opponent in the North Division finals, as they faced the seventh-seeded Pangasinan Heatwaves, who joined the league alongside Abra in 2024. In the best-of-five Northern Luzon showdown, Abra beat Pangasinan in three games to reach their first MPBL finals after just two seasons.
After this series, multiple players, including Chiu and Brickman, will move up to the Philippine Basketball Association following their selections in the PBA season 50 draft.
