Tournament format

The tournament has three divisions: men, women and boys. As of season 77 (2014–15), eight member universities field a team in the men's division and five in the women's division. The number of participating schools increased to eight from seven in the men's division. Adamson University fielded a men's team in Season 77 (2014–15). Adamson made its return in men's football after more than a decade of absence. While in the boys division, five member universities field a team: the Ateneo de Manila University, the De La Salle University, the Far Eastern University, the University of Santo Tomas and the National University. The number of participating schools increased to five from the four teams of season 79. NU fielded a team starting season 80.

Teams face each other in a double round-robin elimination format, with 3 points awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.

In the men's division, the top four teams by the end of the double round-robin elimination will advance to the semi-final round. The number one seeded team will face the fourth-seeded team, while the second and third seeded teams will face each other in a one-game match. The winners in the semifinal round face each other in a one-game Finals match. In the event that a team sweeps all the games during the eliminations, it will automatically qualify for the Finals. The second, third and fourth seeded teams will face each other in a step-ladder format. The winner will face the number one seeded team in the Finals.

In the women's and boys' divisions, the top two teams at the end of the second round will face each other in a one-game Finals. In the event that a team sweeps all the games during the eliminations, that team will have a twice-to-beat advantage in the Finals.
