The NCAA Season 100 basketball tournaments are the basketball tournaments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) for its 2024–25 season. The tournament is being hosted by Lyceum of the Philippines University. Opening day of the men's tournament was held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on September 7, 2024, while the rest of the elimination round games was held at the Filoil EcoOil Centre, then the final elimination gameday and semifinals held at the Cuneta Astrodome, then the finals at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Mapúa Cardinals won their first men's championship since NCAA Season 67 (1991), defeated the Benilde Blazers. Mapúa finished first at the end of the elimination round and defeated the Lyceum Pirates in the semifinals. Benilde finished second, and ousted the defending champions San Beda Red Lions in the other semifinal.

Tournament format

The NCAA is expected to follow the Final Four format used since 1997.

The NCAA mulled in moving the seniors' tournament to the second semester, and the juniors' tournament to the first semester. Reasons for the move include struggles in adjusting its calendar as a 10-team league, and for a more "unified" college basketball season; the move would have also allowed the juniors' tournament to revert to a double round robin elimination round format.

The plans did not push through, as the league opted to have the seniors' tournament in the first semester of the academic year. Unlike in the past two seasons, while men's gamedays are held five days a week, all gamedays was scheduled to be doubleheaders, except for the final playing day of the first round of eliminations, which shall be a single game involving last year's finals participants.

The NCAA appointed Ogie Bernarte as basketball commissioner for this season. However, both Bernarte and his mother fell ill as the first round of the eliminations was ending. He was replaced by Joel Ngo starting at the second round. While both Bernarte and his mother recovered, the NCAA decided to retain Ngo to avoid another transition, and instead made Bernarte a consultant.

The third place playoff, introduced last season, was originally included in the tournament. However, due to logistical issues, the NCAA decided to cancel it instead.
