THE 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup is in full swing with all 12 teams jockeying for position toward the postseason.
San Miguel is heating up in its quest for a second franchise grand slam, while Magnolia is eager to defend its championship, but is still trying to gain its footing in the middle of this grueling PBA schedule.
TNT, though, is making its case as a legitimate threat to both the Beermen and the Hotshots as the KaTropa are still in seventh heaven, going unbeaten in their first seven games as of this writing.
The rest of the teams in the field are just trying to spoil the party at this stage of the season that
Starting last September 20 – later than usual after giving way to Gilas Pilipinas’ Fiba World Cup campaign, the two-month elimination round will end on November 20 – with the season sure to run up to next year.
That’s because the league will take another break from November 29 to December 15 due to the Philippines’ hosting of the 30th Southeast Asian Games.

That will force the PBA to hold its Governors’ Cup semifinal games until December 22 at the latest, before taking a Christmas break ahead of the best-of-seven Finals from January 3 to 17 next year.
For now, teams are keen on making the most of their remaining assignments in the regular season as they try to advance to the quarterfinal round and avoid early vacation.
Some games were played at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay and are now mostly played at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Cubao and Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay, with a handful of games held at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
There are two more Saturday out-of-town games in the eliminations, particularly on November 9 in Cebu featuring the Beermen and the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters and Nov. 16 in Davao pitting the TNT KaTropa and the Hotshots.
Check out the full remaining PBA schedule of the regular season below.
