The 2024 PBA Philippine Cup also known as the 2024 Honda PBA Philippine Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the second and final conference of the 2023–24 PBA season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 45th PBA Philippine Cup started on February 28 and ended on June 16, 2024. The tournament does not allow teams to hire foreign players or imports.

The opening was originally scheduled on March 3, but was moved earlier to February 28 to give way for the Philippines men's national basketball team's participation in the FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament to be held on July 2–7, 2024.^[1]

Format

All participating teams play in a single round-robin elimination, with each team playing 11 games throughout the duration of the conference.
Teams are ranked by win-loss records with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. Any ties are broken using tiebreaker criteria.
- If there is a tie for 8th place, a one-game playoff is instead used to determine which team gets the final playoff spot.
The playoff formats are as follows:
- Quarterfinals:
  - Twice-to-beat matches: 1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th
  - Best-of-three matches: 3rd vs. 6th, 4th vs. 5th
- Semifinals (best-of-seven series):
  - Matches: 1st/8th vs. 4th/5th; 2nd/7th vs. 3rd/6th
- Finals (best-of-seven series)
