The National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) is gearing up for another exciting year of collegiate basketball, with San Beda University confirmed as the host of NCAA Season 102. The new season is expected to tip off in September 2026, and fans across the country are already buzzing with anticipation.
The hosting confirmation was made official by the NCAA Management Committee during the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum. This comes on the heels of the San Beda Red Lions’ dominant championship run in NCAA Season 101, where they captured their 24th men’s basketball title — further cementing their legacy as one of the most successful programs in Philippine collegiate sports history.
What NCAA Season 102 Means for Fans and Apparel
With a new season on the horizon, expect fresh team jerseys, school merchandise, and fan gear to drop in the coming months. Every NCAA season brings updated uniform designs, new colorways, and limited-edition apparel collections from the league’s ten member schools. Whether you’re repping the San Beda Red Lions, Letran Knights, San Sebastian Stags, or any other NCAA powerhouse, Season 102 is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with the latest collegiate basketball gear.
Teams are also making major roster moves ahead of the new campaign. Letran has bolstered its juniors division title defense by securing the transfers of Eoin Braga, Mhico Abellar, and Ethan Oraa, according to Tiebreaker Times. Meanwhile, San Beda continues to attract top high school talent, with standout Maco Dabao from De La Salle Zobel committing to the Red Lions.
Rumors and Storylines to Watch
Speculation about San Beda potentially exploring a move to the UAAP has resurfaced following their Season 101 championship. However, the university’s commitment to hosting Season 102 signals that the Red Lions are focused on continuing their NCAA legacy — at least for now.
Other schools are also making noise. Jose Rizal University (JRU) is parading a batch of prized recruits in Season 102, with head coach Nani Epondulan confident about a culture change for the Heavy Bombers, as reported by ABS-CBN Sports.
