The 2021 PBA 3x3 season will be the inaugural season of the PBA 3x3, the 3x3 basketball league of the Philippine Basketball Association.

The inaugural season was supposed to be held in 2020, with all 12 franchise teams of the main PBA to field their own teams. Mighty Sports and Dunkin Donuts reportedly were interesting in also fielding teams in the PBA 3x3.[1] The inaugural season was supposed to start with the 3×3 Philippine Cup in March 2020, but was postponed to 2021 by June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic with the PBA preoccupied with plans to resume the season of its main league during that time.[2]

The PBA 3x3 inaugural season will be held in parallel with the 2021 PBA season which is set to officially open on April 11, 2021.[3]

Teams

All 12 franchise teams of the main 5-a-side Philippine Basketball Association are eligible to field a 3x3 team for the 2021 PBA 3x3 season.[3] The Alaska Aces and Blackwater Bossing decided not to field a team with five guest teams set to also participate.[4] Zamboanga Valientes and a team representing Universal Canning, Inc. has confirmed their participation as guest teams.
