With the National Collegiate Athletic Association celebrating its centennial this coming season, the league revealed its logo and theme for this year, "Siglo Uno: Inspiring Legacies."

The theme aims for the Philippines' first athletic collegiate league to inspire legacies of sportsmanship, competitiveness, hope, valor, camaraderie, and power.

Attaching the "100" enables the NCAA to further showcases its longevity, solidity, adaptability, and strength as it continues to grow and evolve to the next century.

Serving as hosts for this season, Lyceum of the Philippines University seeks to highlight unity and collaboration, rather than competition, amongst its fellow member-institutions: Arellano University, Colegio de San Juan de Letran, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Emilio Aguinaldo College, José Rizal University, Mapúa University, San Beda University, San Sebastian College - Recoletos, and University of Perpetual Help System DALTA

Management Committee Chairman and Lyceum representative Hercules Callanta says, "This season of the NCAA is truly a historic and remarkable one as we celebrate the centennial year of the country’s first athletic league. This year, we are focusing on inspiring legacies as we have come to achieve a century full of growth and development. The NCAA has completed 99 seasons, and as we begin a new chapter, we are staying strong and adaptable, still evolving onward to the next century."

GMA Network remains as the league's broadcast partner, and it is set to broadcast the league's opening on September 7 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

The men's basketball matches are set to be shown LIVE five times a week on both GTV and Heart of Asia. Games are to be shown at noon onwards on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, with the ones on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 11am.

According to Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso, "GMA Network is both proud and honored to be part of the centennial season of the NCAA. The league has remained resilient and true to its core, transcending borders and inspiring legacies over the past decades. As the broadcast partner and home of the NCAA, we look forward to making this historic season truly remarkable and unforgettable, not just for the 10-member schools of the athletic association, but also for its supporters and viewers across the Philippines and overseas."

The league is set to have more development and innovations in the horizon, with more individuals will be molded to become future icons and legends, while at the same time, making history and inspiring legacies through the generations.
