Combine
The 2025 PBA draft combine was held from September 4–5 at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig. 125 of the 128 initial applicants showed up to the event, with two withdrawing from the draft, while Jason Brickman was unable to make it due to prior commitments. Sonny Estil was named the draft combine MVP as his team won the mini-tournament, and he, Dalph Panopio, Edrian Ramirez, Jun Roque, and Mario Barasi were named to the all-tournament team.
Eligibility and entrants
Applications for the draft began on August 4 and ended on August 29. On August 22, the PBA reached out to the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) to allow its student-athletes to join the draft. The UAAP rejected the league's request on August 27. By the end of the application period, 128 players declared for the draft. This was reduced to a final tally of 122 players after the draft combine.
The following are the eligibility requirements for local players:
- Entrants at least 22 years old on the day of the draft must be four years removed from high school or have played one year of college basketball;
- Entrants between the ages of 19 and 21 years must have had at least two years of college education;
- All entrants must be at least 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) in height.
Eligibility requirements for Filipino-foreigner entrants are similar to the locals but with some additions:
- All Filipino-foreigner entrants must be a holder of a Philippine passport.
- All Filipino-foreigner entrants must have previously played professional basketball elsewhere and is not under contract with other teams.
Players who applied for the draft on the fourth or fifth year of eligibility will instead be assigned to a lottery separate from draft proper.
