Due to the participation of Philippine men's national basketball team in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and 2022 Asian Games, the PBA season started on November 5, 2023[1] and would only have two conferences, first being the Commissioner's Cup, followed by the season-ending Philippine Cup.
Opening day was originally scheduled on October 15,[2] but was moved three weeks past the original date to give the players that participated in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the 2022 Asian Games time to rest and recover.[1]
The first activity of the season was the PBA Season 48 draft, held on September 17.[3]
