This season featured 26 teams, nearly tripling the size from 10 teams in its inaugural season. It was the first season to feature divisions as well as teams from Visayas and Mindanao, giving it a full national scope for the first time.

The San Juan Knights became the 2019 MPBL champions, after defeating the Davao Occidental Tigers in the 2019 MPBL Finals, three games to two.

Format

The format for the cup was:

  • All 26 teams are divided into two divisions of 13 teams: the Northern and Southern Divisions, which consist of 13 teams each.
  • In the regular season, teams play in a single round-robin format, with each team playing 25 games, playing each team once. Games are played in a team's homecourt, but not all games feature the home team, technically making them neutral site games.
  • At the end of the regular season, all teams are ranked based on their winning percentage. The top eight teams in each division advance to the playoffs. Should there be any ties, the following criteria is used: 1) Winning percentage; 2) Head-to-head record; 3) Point differential; 4) Points scored.
  • The first three rounds of the playoffs are best-of-three series, while the MPBL Finals is a best-of-five series.
  • Unlike most sports, homecourt advantage in the playoffs works differently in the MPBL:
    • In the First Round, the first- and second-seeded teams host all game 1s in its own division, while the third- and fourth-seeded teams host all game 2s in its own division. Any game 3s are hosted by the highest-seeded team that hasn't advanced yet.
    • In the Divisional Semifinals, the highest-seeded team hosts all game 1s in its own division, while the second highest-seeded team hosts all game 2s in its own division. Any game 3s are hosted by the highest-seeded team that hasn't advanced yet.
    • In the Divisional Finals and National Finals, a traditional homecourt advantage system is used, with a 1-1-1 format is used for the Divisional Finals, while a 2-2-1 format is used for the National Finals.
  • The winning team from each playoff series advances to the next round until one team from each division remains, where the champion is decided in the MPBL Finals.

Matches with lighter background shading were decided after overtime.
Notes:
  1. Forfeited in favor of Bacoor; game originally ended with Parañaque winning 82–81, but a referee upgraded a two-point field-goal of Parañaque to a three-point field-goal. The league ruled that the referee ruled in error, ordered the game to be replayed at 81–all, starting in overtime, but Parañaque failed to show up in the replayed game.[2]

Not all games are in home–away format. Each team plays every team once. Number of asterisks after each score denotes number of overtimes played.
