In the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), games are played in various venues across the country. Every team in the league has a designated home venue that is used throughout the season, and is where the team plays its home games. Some teams may play more home games than others teams in a season.

The final game of each gameday, the primetime game, usually has the host team participating in the game. Occasionally, the designated home team may not be able to play within its home locality, which can cause the gameday to be played elsewhere.[1]

In this list, most on-campus venues are listed with the name of the institution it is based in, with the actual name of the venue being placed in parenthesis.
