The eight member universities of the UAAP are competing in the league's 28 events from 15 sports to vie for the overall championship. This season's sports events will include the inaugural 3-on-3 basketball as a demonstration sport to be held at FEU Manila.

Reorganization

Last January 12, 2017, the presidents of the member institutions of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) met in the campus of the host University, the University of Santo Tomas, to discuss the re-organization of the association.

In an interview with the UST Rector, the Very Rev. Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P., PhD, he said that the group "approved in principle the re-organization of the UAAP." Such entails that the Presidents/Rectors will become the members of the Board of Trustees, while the present members of the Board of Trustees will comprise the Board of Managing Directors, which will manage and supervise the UAAP events, like games, among other things.

To be created under the proposed change are "risk and audit committees, which will be under the Board of Trustees." Meanwhile, other working committees similar to existing committees will be created and placed under the supervision of the board of managing directors.

The proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws will be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for approval, and are eyed for implementation in time for the opening of the 80th season of UAAP later in 2017.

The UAAP University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dr. Michael Alba announced the appointment of Atty. Rene Andrei Q. Saguisag, Jr., as the Association's first Executive Director starting 7 August 2017.

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony of the UAAP Season 80 was held at the University of Santo Tomas main campus in España, Sampaloc, Manila on September 3, 2016. The ceremony kicked off with a ballroom Formation competition at the Quadricentennial Pavilion.

Ballroom dancing, which all member schools (except FEU) participated, was the newest demonstration sport and a side event before the commencement of UAAP basketball competition. University of the Philippines swept both the Latin and Standard categories in the said competition.[8]

After the event, an opening parade and program proper, followed by an outdoor concert was also held at the nearby Plaza Mayor. The performers include: the UST Salinggawi Dance, Conservatory of Music choirs: Coro Tomasino, and Liturgikon Vocal Ensemble, along with the Conservatory of Music orchestra. Soloist Neil Morales sang the theme "Dare to Dream" composed by Neo Hernandez.[9]

The first doubleheader games of the men's basketball tournament started the next day at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

A press conference was held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sept.4,2017 6 days before the actual opening.

3×3 basketball

The UAAP expanded its number of tournaments by holding 3×3 basketball games in the men's and women's divisions as a demonstration sport in Season 80. The inclusion of 3×3 basketball in the list of UAAP tournaments is timely as 3×3 basketball is now an Olympic event. 3×3 basketball may be reclassified as a regular sport next season after the positive responses from member schools who all fielded a team.[11]

Juniors' division

The UAAP Season 80 Juniors volleyball tournament started on September 9, 2017. National University athletic director Chito Loyzaga and Sports Vision chairman Moying Martelino announced a partnership that resulted in the UAAP Season 80 boys and girls volleyball games being played at FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan using the facilities of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). The San Juan venue will be the new home of the UAAP high school volleyball. The Adamson gym hosted the competition for three years since 2014. The UAAP wanted a good venue to develop young high school volleyball players. The FilOil Flying V Centre will give young and promising high school volleyball players a venue where they can perform at their very best. For the first time these high school players will get a chance to compete on a taraflex floor.

The girls volleyball matches will be played from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. every Monday and Saturday. The boys matches will be held every Wednesday on the same timeslots. On Sundays there will be four boys matches starting at 10:00 a.m. and a lone girls game at 8:00 a.m.

National University is the tournament host. The number of participating schools in the boys' and girls' tournaments increased to eight and seven, respectively. Far Eastern University fielded boys' and girls' volleyball teams beginning season 77. Adamson fielded a boys' team starting season 79. Since there are now more than six participating schools in each tournament, both tournaments will have a Final Four format. The UAAP Board decided to move the high school volleyball tournaments from 2nd semester to 1st semester in Season 78 due to the basketball juniors tournament being moved from the 1st semester to 2nd semester.

Boys' tournament

The UAAP Season 80 Boys' division baseball tournament began on January 20, 2018 at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium in Malate Manila. NU fielded a boys' baseball team starting with Season 80. This brought the number of participating teams to four. Since there are now four teams participating, baseball will no longer be a demonstration sport in the Boys' Juniors division. It will be a regular sport with the participating schools earning points for the Juniors General Championship. The tournament host is Adamson.

Closing ceremony

The UAAP Season 80 closing ceremony was held at the FEU auditorium at the university's main campus in Morayta. The highlight of the 4:30 p.m. event is the announcement of the league's Athletes of the Year. All MVPs from 15 sporting events of the UAAP are eligible to win the Athlete of the Year award. The UAAP has also been giving out special citations to student-athletes who excel in their academics and some who represent the country in local and international competitions.[14]

The closing ceremony also featured the turn-over of the flag of the UAAP to Season 81 host National University. UAAP Season 80 President of the Board of Trustees Dr. Michael Alba, handed over the UAAP flag to NU's Teodoro Ocampo, the league's season 80 VP of the Board of Trustees, as a symbolic transition of responsibilities of the hosting of UAAP Season 81.
