Tournament format

The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format.

The league announced that it shall allow players who have played with a special guest license from the Games and Amusements Board to participate in its tournaments, except for licenses where the player participated in the Philippine Basketball Association.

Xavy Nunag reprised his role as commissioner from Season 85. Assisting him are Mariana Lopa, deputy commissioner for women's and girls' basketball, and Marvin Bienvenida, deputy commissioner for boys' basketball. Nunag took a leave of absence on mid-November, citing a health crisis within his family. Lopa was named acting commissioner during his absence.

Starting Season 86, teams customarily assigned to wear light jerseys during certain games would be allowed to wear dark uniforms instead as long as Commissioner's Office permits. However this privilege was not exercised.

Teams
