List of venues played by the Philippine Basketball Association

2006-07 Philippine Cup elimination round game at the Cuneta Astrodome between the Barangay Ginebra Kings and the San Miguel Beermen.

A majority of elimination round games are held in the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Mall of Asia Arena at Pasay City (both at Metro Manila) are the alternative venue or the second venue when the Smart Araneta Coliseum is unavailable.^[1] Playoff games are exclusively held at venues in Metro Manila, most especially the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Provincial games are held on selected locations throughout the country, with most of the games held on a Thursday or a Saturday. Very rarely does a playoff game is held outside Metro Manila, if at all.

All-Star games, on the other hand, are currently rotated between Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao. Metro Manila last hosted the all-star game in 2014; Baguio and La Union jointly co-hosted the All-Star Weekend for 2007. Bacolod hosted the 2008 edition which ran from April 24–27, 2008.

Five games had been held overseas: one each at Jakarta, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Guam and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
