    GILAS Pilipinas really has nowhere to go but up.

    After a tough defeat in the 31st Southeast Asian Games, a more youthful and exuberant Philippine national team is back in the fold for the third window of the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup Asian qualifiers.

    It's a completely new squad from the one which was hastily formed and competed back in February, with coach Nenad Vucinic tasked to turn things around for Gilas.

    For the first time in three years, the traditional home-and-away format will once again be observed with the Filipinos first flying to Auckland before heading home to Manila.

      Fans who wish to watch Gilas will have to be fully vaccinated and present their vaccination cards upon their entry inside the stadium.

      It's the first Gilas home game at the Mall of Asia Arena since the 30th Southeast Asian Games in 2019.

      Live TV broadcast

      The viewing public can still watch the games on their television sets through TV5, the official Fiba broadcaster in the country.

      Both of Gilas' games this window will be shown live on TV5, One Sports, and One Sports+.

      Fans can also watch the games on their mobile device through the Cignal Play app, as well as through the Smart GigaPlay app, although this feature is only limited for Smart subscribers.
