Background
[edit]TV partner
[edit]GMA Network did not renew its TV deal with the NCAA, with its final airing being the women's finals of the NCAA Season 101 volleyball tournaments.[3] Early contenders for their replacement were the Bilyonaryo News Channel and ABS-CBN, with Net 25 and state-run People's Television Network also expressing interest.[4]
With the draw of groupings in the NCAA Season 102 basketball tournaments, it was revealed that Bilyonaryo News Channel, Solar Sports, and an unnamed production company, made presentations to the NCAA. Cignal TV and ABS-CBN informed the league that they will also submit their bids. Bilyonaryo submitted its letter of intent on June 9, while Cignal TV submitted its letter of intent on June 20.[5][6]
On July 15, 2026, the NCAA signed a two-season deal with Cignal TV at the Ramon Cojuangco Building, with their games airing on RPTV and One Sports.[7]
Potential expansion
[edit]In his column, Joaquin Henson said that four schools, Centro Escolar University, Our Lady of Fatima University, Philippine Christian University, and San Beda College Alabang, are seeking to join the NCAA.[8]
