Like most Metro Manila-centric leagues, most games are held in arenas rented by the league, with games being played in neutral venues. In an innovation dubbed as "NCAA on Tour", starting in 2017, the NCAA will continue holding Thursday games in the first round hosted at the campus of one of the teams that are playing on that day.{{Cite web|url=http://abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/ncaa-schools-unite-to-rock-season-95-on-abs-cbn-s?lang=en|title=NCAA schools unite to rock Season 95 on ABS-CBN S+A and iWant |website=ABS-CBN|access-date=2019-07-05}}

At the end of the elimination round, three-time defending champion San Beda finished first with an undefeated season, winning all 18 games. In their final elimination round game, they defeated Lyceum, the last team to win all 18 elimination round games, in 2017. This allowed the Red Lions to advance to the Finals outright, while modifying the usual Final Four format to a stepladder one. The Red Lions, who last finished the elimination round undefeated in 2010, advanced to their 14th consecutive Finals appearance. The Pirates finished second, awaiting the winning of the first round of stepladder semifinals.{{Cite web|last=Naredo|first=Camille B.|date=2019-10-17|title=NCAA: San Beda overwhelms Lyceum, advances to finals|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/17/19/ncaa-san-beda-overwhelms-lyceum-advances-to-finals|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-09-22|website=ABS-CBN News|language=en}}

The final participant of the Final Four was determined the following day. With Letran already guaranteed the third seed, only the fourth seed was up for grabs.
