MPBL All-Star Game


The MPBL All-Star Game is an exhibition game hosted by the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and showcases a selection of the league's star players. It is the main event of the greater MPBL All-Star Day, held during the latter part of the regular season alongside a series of pre-game events within the same day. The first All-Star Game was played at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on March 2, 2019.
The two teams, representing the two divisions, are composed of fifteen players from the representing division. The head coaches of the team with the best record in each division leading up to All-Star gameday are chosen to coach their respective teams.

Background

The MPBL All-Star Game was introduced during the league's second season, the 2018–19 season. The first edition of the event took place on March 2, 2019, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay. Two teams from each division, with fifteen players, are matched against one another. The teams are led by the head coach of the team with the best record in each division.
The 2020 edition also took place at SM Mall of Asia Arena, but since then the All-Star Game has been hosted by one of its teams in its primary home venue. The Batangas City Embassy Chill hosted the 2022 edition at Batangas City Coliseum while the Bataan Risers hosted the 2023 edition at Bataan People's Center.
The 2024 edition was the first to take place outside Luzon, with the Zamboanga Master Sardines hosting the event at Mayor Vitaliano D. Agan Coliseum in Zamboanga City. In 2024, on top of the fifteen selections for each division, one homegrown player was also selected as an additional all-star. The 2025 edition will then take place at Alonte Sports Arena in Biñan, Laguna.
The All-Star Game is usually preceded by a series of pre-game events. The Executives' Game, Three-Point Shootout, and Slam Dunk Showdown have become regular events, appearing in every All-Star gameday from the beginning.
