Dwight Ramos and AJ Edu have defended the Gilas Pilipinas Asian Games squad following tune-up losses to South Korea. The B.League professionals highlighted the team's strong preparation during scrimmages as the group prepares to open its tournament against Bahrain.
Gilas Pilipinas dropped an 89-85 decision to Bahrain in their Asian Games opener despite a 31-point performance from Calvin Oftana. A 23-5 middle-quarter surge by Bahrain created a deficit too steep for the defending champions to overturn. A late rally capped by Don Trollano trimmed the margin to four, salvaging crucial point differential for knockout-stage qualification.
Calvin Oftana reflected on Gilas Pilipinas' group-stage exit at the 20th Asian Games, taking pride in the squad's effort despite missing a historic back-to-back gold medal chance. The TNT forward carried his strong individual form back to the PBA, scoring 31 points in a dominant Governors' Cup win over Terrafirma.
DLSU forward Luis Pablo and FEU guard Amyah Espanol are set to represent Gilas 3x3 at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan while balancing UAAP collegiate duties. Both student-athletes lead rosters featuring top university talent as the Philippines prepares for group-stage matches against continental opponents.
Gilas Pilipinas revived their Asian Games title defense with a decisive 109-78 rout of Kazakhstan at the Aichi International Arena. Robert Bolick scored 20 points and Jerrick Ahanmisi added 22 as the Philippines rebounded from an opening defeat to set up a crucial clash against China.
Gilas Pilipinas faces China in a crucial 2026 Asian Games clash with multiple quarterfinal pathways. A victory secures second place in Group C, while a loss by 37 points or fewer still ensures progression via the third-place quotient standings.
Gilas Girls secured a historic 69-64 comeback win over New Zealand at the FIBA U18 Women's Asia Cup 2026 in Malaysia. The victory earned the Philippines third place in Group A and a spot in Thursday's Qualification to Semi-Finals against China or Japan.
Following an Asian Games silver medal run with Gilas Pilipinas 3x3, Amyah Espanol has led the FEU Lady Tamaraws to a 2-0 start in the UAAP women's basketball tournament. The Fil-American winger credited her half-court national team experience for elevating her defensive toughness and leadership.
Gilas Pilipinas — the Philippine men's national basketball team — through every FIBA window: schedule, results, and where the campaign stands, in Philippine Standard Time (GMT+8).
The current campaign is the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers. Gilas came through a first round alongside Australia, New Zealand and Guam, beating Guam home and away and losing twice each to the Australians and the New Zealanders — including a two-overtime defeat in Auckland that finished 106-102. That record carried into a second round in Group E against Jordan, Iran and Syria, with the home games at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila.
FIBA runs international basketball in discrete windows rather than a continuous season, which is why the fixture list looks empty for months and then crowded for a week. Between windows the squad disperses: most of the pool play for PBA clubs, alongside collegiate players and Filipinos based overseas who qualify under FIBA's eligibility rules. A window is typically two games inside five days, one at home and one away, and the roster is named shortly before it opens rather than months ahead.
Qualifying runs to March 2027. The top finishers advance to the World Cup in Qatar, and the campaign doubles as the route toward Olympic qualification.

The next fixture, its venue and its tip-off time in Philippine Standard Time are at the top of this page, taken from FIBA's competition feed. FIBA confirms venues and start times for later windows closer to the date, so some rows show a date without a time.
The results table above lists every completed qualifier with its final score and whether Gilas won or lost, so the record is the sum of what is on the page rather than a number typed separately from it.
Home qualifiers at the Mall of Asia Arena are shown by the tournament's Philippine rights holders, and FIBA streams selected qualifying games on its own Courtside 1891 service. LodiScore carries the schedule and scores, not the video.
The pool is drawn mostly from PBA clubs, together with collegiate players and Filipinos based overseas who qualify under FIBA's eligibility rules. Squads are named per window rather than for a whole season, so the roster changes between windows.
Gilas Pilipinas is the Philippine men's national basketball team, assembled by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas for FIBA competition — World Cup qualifiers, the Asia Cup, the Asian Games and the SEA Games.
