Format
The tournament was divided into two stages: the group stage and the playoffs. The eight participating teams were divided into two groups of four. Both groups play in a single round-robin format, wherein each team plays one game against all other teams within the same group. The top two teams in each group advance to a two-round, single-elimination playoffs consisting of all knockout games.
Every team was given prize money based on their standings: ₱1.5 million for the champion, ₱500,000 for the runner-up, ₱300,000 for the third-place team, ₱200,000 for the fourth-place team, and ₱125,000 for all non-playoff teams.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-20 |title=MPBL preseason starts in GenSan |url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2024/02/20/2334815/mpbl-preseason-starts-gensan |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=Philstar.com}}

The Pampanga Giant Lanterns became the first Luzon-based team to win an MPBL Invitational championship, as the previous two (Basilan and Zamboanga) were all based in Mindanao.
Unlike previous Invitational tournaments, no Most Valuable Player award was given out at the conclusion of the tournament. Pampanga's Encho Serrano was declared the Player of the Game in the Finals.
Media
This is the second MPBL Invitational under Cignal TV's ongoing broadcast partnership with the league. The games are broadcast on Media Pilipinas TV (MPTV) on television and are streamed live via Pilipinas Live. The league continues to stream all of the games online on Facebook and YouTube.
