The 2023 AsiaBasket Las Piñas Championship was the fifth tournament under AsiaBasket, the second under the AsiaBasket name, and the second of three tournaments held in 2023. The tournament began from July 21 to 30, 2023 at the Villar Coliseum in Las Piñas with 10 teams from both collegiate and professional clubs.

It is also the first tournament since Summer 2022 to be held in the Philippines as well as the first since Subic 2021 to feature an all-Filipino lineup. The league originally intended to use the original FilBasket moniker under these circumstances, but ultimately, the AsiaBasket name was still used.

The Ateneo Blue Eagles won the championship after defeating CSB Blazers at score 60–57 in the final tournament.

Format

The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, from there each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing four games.

The single-elimination knockout stage was expanded to now have the top four teams from each group, instead of the top. The first round is a crossover quarterfinals, where one team from both groups is matched against one another. The winning teams advance to the next round. In the semifinals, the losing teams advance to a third place game.
