List of Philippine Basketball Association conferences

  • All Filipino conferences - only players with Filipino citizenship are allowed to compete.
  • Import-laden conferences - players with other citizenship/nationality are allowed to compete, with teams usually limited with one non-Filipino on their active lineup.
  • Special tournaments - teams may or may not include imports but championships won don't count to the championship tally.
