Background

edit

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Metro Manila, the preceding season, NCAA Season 95, was terminated. This meant tournaments that were ongoing or have not been started were all canceled. No championships were decided on canceled tournaments, and no general champions were named. The Management Committee has recommended on starting the athletic year in November, instead of the usual July schedule, with President Rodrigo Duterte moving the start of the academic year to September.[2]

This is also the first season where foreigners are banned from playing.[3]

After UAAP Season 83 was cancelled, the NCAA insisted on going through with its season.[4]

On May 14, 2021, it was reported that Martin Javier and Sophia Senoron was to host the season.[5] The opening ceremony was held virtually on June 13, 2021.[6] Originally set for May, it was postponed to June 13 following the surge of COVID-19 cases in the country as well as the placement of the NCR+ under enhanced community quarantine.[7][8]

No championships involving contact sports, including the basketball and volleyball, would be held.[9] Holding games under the bubble format was considered for basketball and volleyball but such plans did not push through.[4]

Basketball

edit

The season also had basketball tournaments but it was a skills showdown featuring Martin Antonio teaching the skills. It featured San Beda's Radge Tongco, San Sebastian's Ian Valdez, EAC's Jethro Mendoza, Benilde's Kendrix Belgica, LPU's Kim Cinco, Arellano's Leonard Anquillo, Perpetual's Gerald Dizon, Letran's Mark Cruz and JRU's Justin Padua to show their skills. Its skills were shooting stars and dribble and shoot.

Media

Main article: NCAA on GMA

Due to the dissolution of ABS-CBN Sports and the denial of the new franchise of ABS-CBN by the House of Representatives, the NCAA had to find a new broadcast partner since its media partner's denial of franchise.[16] On November 19, 2020, NCAA signed a deal with GMA Network, making them the broadcast partner for the next six seasons until Season 101.[17][18]
