History

The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) was founded in December 2021 by former officials of another league; the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup. It was established by former VisMin Cup CEO Rocky Chan and former COO Chelito Caro.[1] Chan assumed the post of PSL President and Caro as the league commissioner.[2] Former professional basketballer Marc Pingris was appointed as commissioner in January 2022 succeeding Caro.[3]

The PSL aims to garner at least 10 teams for its inaugural season. The league is aimed primarily for players in Mindanao and Visayas like the VisMin Cup.[4] It will have three conferences, one which will allow foreign players or imports. There is also a plan for a under-21 division.[5]

Teams

The Pilipinas Super League (PSL) will have nine founding teams participating for its first conference in 2022. Most teams will be based in the Mindanao and Visayas regions of southern Philippines.
