Livestream
All live games will be exclusively online as it will be showed via streaming on Filbasket’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. The league has also partnered with TikTok with the matches to be aired live on the platform.
“They are very aggressive right now in acquiring sports content. I think next to Facebook, in my personal view, baka TikTok na ‘yung next most populated ng Filipinos. We are very excited for that,” said Filbasket founder Jai Reyes.

Filbasket founder Jai Reyes says they is excited to be on Tiktok and other platforms.
TV
At the moment, the league will not be aired live on television due to budgetary reasons. But the league is still looking to show the games on TV after the tournament.
“Sana our deal goes through with Solar Sports na ma-air ng games but after na ng tournament,” said Reyes. “Wala kaming budget bumili ng air time or kahit mag-air ng games ng live, kahit libreng air time, maraming extra cost na makapag-live like satellite, OB van, wala kami nyan.”
Buddy Encarnado of Pasig-Sta. Lucia, one of the proponents of Filbasket, said going on TV remains in the plans of the league.
“We want to go on television. Alam mo naman ‘yung traditional decision makers, they want the regular TV. But the truth of the matter is wala kaming pera… Maghigpit muna kami ng sinturon. Let’s try to see whether itong social media will be able to showcase ‘yung following natin. At least, we will be seen live on social media,” said Encarnado.
