North Division (MPBL)


The North Division is one of two divisions in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, the other being the South Division. Both divisions were formed as a result of the league's national expansion in the 2018–19 season. As of 2025, both divisions consist of 15 teams each.
The most recent realignment occurred in the 2025 season. The expansion Ilagan Isabela Cowboys were placed in the North Division alongside the returning Pasig City MPBL team. The Rizal Golden Coolers were realigned to the South Division to balance both divisions.
