Mall of Asia Arena at Pasay City (both at Metro Manila) is the alternative venue when the Smart Araneta Coliseum is unavailable.[1] Playoff games are exclusively held at venues in Metro Manila, mostly at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

All-Star games, on the other hand, are currently rotated between Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao. Metro Manila last hosted the all-star game in 2016; 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.

Seven games had been held overseas: three at Dubai and one each at Jakarta, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Guam.
