Calendar edit

The customary opening basketball game between the season hosts and the defending champions is changed to the second game. Instead, 2019 third placers Letran and runners-up Lyceum will play in the opening game on July 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena, with Arellano and San Beda playing in the main game of the doubleheader.[1]

Second semester sports will be rescheduled to give way to the country's hosting of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. Women's lawn tennis will be elevated as a regular sport, and a tournament for hado will be held, with the winner going to Japan representing the NCAA.[2]

Several sports events were cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. No overall championship title will be awarded.[3]
