| The NCAA head coaches for Season 93. All except Vergel Meneses are in this photo. |
The Mall of Asia Arena will serve as host for the opener, with San Beda opening their title retention bid against hosts San Sebastian at 2pm, followed by the matchup between Mapua and Arellano at 4pm.
The league, which has a theme this season of "NCAA Strong @ Season 93," will also have its Opening Ceremonies at noon. All of these will be shown LIVE on S+A and its HD counterpart, with online streaming available through sports.abs-cbn.com.
Meanwhile, NCAA HS basketball will kick off its Season 93 on Sunday afternoon at Letran, with the Red Cubs against the Staglets at 1pm, followed by defending champions Red Robins against the Braves at 3pm. As for the rest of the league, the remaining teams, save for EAC, will be making their season on Tuesday. The Generals will be the last team to kick off their season, as they will be commence their campaign on July 14.
Among the new wrinkles the league is introducing this season is the NCAA On-Tour, which features basketball games being held on-campus. Arellano will be the first host school to pull off this feat, as they face San Sebastian both in HS and Collegiate basketball. Although there is limited in-venue seating at each location, there will be a LED screen that will be installed outside for those who could not get in. In addition, there will be a game day experience that would feature local school celebrities, Star Music talents, and MYX VJs.
ABS-CBN Sports coverage will remain generally unchanged as they begin their third season of a ten-year partnership with the NCAA. #TeamNCAA is bringing back its entire panel and play-by-play group, with the notable addition of Borgie Hermida, while the same can also be said for its cadre of courtside reporters, with GellieMae Obena joining in.
NCAA on S+A Coverage will be starting 12nn on Tuesdays and Fridays, while on Thursdays it will be at 4pm.
