University Athletic Association of the Philippines#Member schools

In 1924, seeing the need to organize collegiate sports and set general athletic policies, Dr. Regino Ylanan (the University of the Philippines Physical Education Director) met with representatives of Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle College, San Beda College, National University, University of Manila, University of Santo Tomas, and Institute of Accounts (now Far Eastern University) to discuss possibilities of forming an athletic organization, which eventually became the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/ncaa/sports/basketball/825163/a-look-back-at-ncaa-s-97-years-of-being-a-home-to-legends-icons-of-philippines-sports/story/|title=A look back at NCAA's 97 years of being home to legends, icons of Philippines sports|website=GMA|date=March 15, 2022|access-date=November 12, 2022|archive-date=November 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221112022304/https://www.gmanetwork.com/ncaa/sports/basketball/825163/a-look-back-at-ncaa-s-97-years-of-being-a-home-to-legends-icons-of-philippines-sports/story/|url-status=live}}

In 1930, the University of the Philippines sponsored an experimental meet of the "Big 3" of the league (NU, UP, UST) on basketball, football, baseball, volleyball, swimming, athletics, boxing, and tennis.

The following year (1931), the NCAA Board of Directors divided the meet into three divisions to put competition on a fairer basis and to stimulate athletics among a greater number.

In March 1932, NU, UP, and UST formally seceded from the NCAA. Led by UP's Candido C. Bartolome, NU's Leon Tirol and UST's Fr. Silvestre Sancho, OP, the move was made to put competitions on equal footing, to increase amateur athletic competitions and to separate the universities from the college members of the league. On April 6, the "Big 3 League" is born. On August 14, the "Big 3" Association is inaugurated with a meet that starts with basketball. Other events were baseball, football, volleyball, relays, athletics, swimming and tennis.{{cite news |last1=Almo |first1=Alder |title=From fraternity to glamour league |url=https://varsitarian.net/sports/sports/20090409/from_fraternity_to_glamour_league |access-date=8 June 2019 |publisher=The Varsitarian |date=April 9, 2009}}

In 1935, UP did not participate in the "Big 3 League" because of mass intramurals at the state university. NU and UST held the meet with FEU (formerly Institute of Accounts) taking UP's place.

On September 27, 1938, the University of the Philippines Alumni Association and the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF), then the highest sports body in the country, encouraged the original "Big 3 League" and FEU to form a permanent sports association, thus the University Athletic Association of the Philippines was established. Events included were basketball, baseball, football, women's volleyball, swimming and athletics. UP bagged three titles (baseball, volleyball, athletics). UST was tops in football and swimming and FEU triumphed in basketball.{{cite web|last1=Jerusalem|first1=Dan|title=The Evolution of the UAAP|url=http://thelasallian.com/2016/10/08/the-evolution-of-the-uaap/|website=The LaSallian|date=October 8, 2016|publisher=De La Salle University|access-date=March 1, 2017}}

In 1941, the outbreak of World War II hindered the staging of the 1941–42 UAAP with UST failing to complete its term. UAAP competition was not held from 1942 to 1946 due to the Japanese occupation of the country which resulted in the closure of educational institutions. The UAAP competition resumed in 1947.

In 1952, University of the East, Adamson University, Manila Central University, and University of Manila were granted two-year probationary membership to the UAAP. After the two-year probationary period, UE and MCU was accepted as a regular member into the league in 1954. MCU remained until its pull-out in 1962. The other two universities (Adamson and UM) were dropped from the UAAP due to their inability to comply with the league requirements.{{cite news |last1=Mayo |first1=Patrick Leonard |title=UAAP Fun Facts |url=https://www.pressreader.com/ |access-date=8 June 2019 |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=September 16, 2018}}

In 1970, Adamson University reapplied for admission to the league with a two-year probationary period and in 1974, Adamson successfully hosted the 1974–75 athletic season paving the way for its permanent membership into the league.

In 1978, the UAAP admitted Ateneo de Manila University into the league while De La Salle University joined in 1986.{{Cite web|url=https://business.inquirer.net/277964/timeline-uaap-history|title=Timeline: UAAP history|work=Inquirer|date=August 31, 2019}}

In 2020, the 2019–20 competition was initially intended to end in May that year. However, the competition abruptly ended early in April due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/391388/uaap-cancels-season-82-over-coronavirus|title=UAAP cancels Season 82 over coronavirus|website=Inquirer|date=April 7, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://cnnphilippines.com/sports/2020/4/7/uaap-cancels-season-82-covid-pandemic.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407165933/https://cnnphilippines.com/sports/2020/4/7/uaap-cancels-season-82-covid-pandemic.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 7, 2020|title=UAAP board cancels Season 82 due to COVID-19 pandemic|website=CNN Philippines|date=April 7, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/uaap/season-82-canceled-due-coronavirus-pandemic|title=UAAP cancels Season 82 amid extended community quarantine|website=Rappler|date=April 7, 2020}} Because of the ongoing pandemic, the planned 2020–21 tournament was cancelled, the first in peacetime.{{cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/410689/uaap-cancels-season-83-over-health-and-safety-reasons|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 over 'health and safety' reasons|website=Inquirer|date=December 11, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.rappler.com/sports/uaap/season-83-canceled/|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 for 'health and safety' reasons|website=Rappler|date=December 11, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2020/12/11/2063114/uaap-cancels-season-83|title=UAAP cancels Season 83|website=The Philippine Star|date=December 11, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/basketball/767685/uaap-cancels-season-83-in-consideration-of-health-and-safety-of-the-student-athletes/story/|title=UAAP cancels Season 83 in consideration of 'health and safety of the student-athletes'|website=GMA News|date=December 11, 2020}} The league resumed the tournament on March 26, 2022 with its 84th season.{{cite web|url=https://www.cnnphilippines.com/sports/2022/2/25/UAAP-Season-84-to-begin-March-26.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225080540/https://www.cnnphilippines.com/sports/2022/2/25/UAAP-Season-84-to-begin-March-26.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 25, 2022|title=UAAP Season 84 to begin March 26|website=CNN Philippines|date=February 25, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/basketball/823073/uaap-set-to-open-season-84-on-march-26/story/|title=UAAP set to open Season 84 on March 26|website=GMA News|date=February 25, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://philstarlife.com/news-and-views/848350-uaap-season-84-returns-march-26|title=UAAP Season 84 kicks off on March 26 after two-year hiatus due to COVID-19|website=The Philippine Star|date=February 25, 2022}}

File:Logo of University Athletic Association of the Philippines.svg

The previous UAAP logo features the university colors of the eight member-schools of the league in a circular formation. It also bears the year when the league was established, 1938, in the center.

The seal changes every season where the university colors of the season host is placed on the very top. Nonetheless, the arrangement of the colors never changes.

The colors of the National University (blue and gold), Far Eastern University (green and gold), University of Santo Tomas (gold and white), and the University of the Philippines (green and maroon), come first counter-clockwise. These are followed by the colors of the University of the East (red and white), Adamson University (navy blue and white), De La Salle University (green and white), and the Ateneo de Manila University (sky blue and white). The arrangement of the school colors is based from their admission in the UAAP (except for Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University's colors).

Prior to the start of UAAP Season 84 in March 2022, the league unveiled its new logo on December 17, 2021. The new logo was inspired by the Philippine traditional native sport sipa.{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/life/guide/uaap-unveils-new-logo-ahead-of-march-2022-season-launch-a2437-20211217|title=UAAP unveils new logo ahead of March 2022 season launch|website=SPIN.ph|date=December 17, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/uaap-unveils-sipa-inspired-logo-for-season-84/228017|title=UAAP unveils 'sipa' inspired logo for Season 84|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=December 17, 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://philstarlife.com/news-and-views/572804-look-uaap-new-sipa-inspired-logo|title=LOOK: UAAP's new logo for season 84 is inspired by the sport 'sipa'|website=The Philippine Star|date=December 17, 2021}} Though the school colors arrangement was followed in reverse Season 84 (the season that the UAAP adopted the current logo), the arrangement of school colors still changes every season beginning with Season 85. The host school's colors is still placed at the topmost "sipa" streak.

The following are the member schools of the league:

Member universities compete in 20 sports. Basketball, being the most popular sport in the Philippines, is the most watched and most supported among all the sports. Volleyball and cheerdance are also equally considered marquee events in the UAAP due to growing respective fanbases and media coverage in the country.

All of these sports have Men's and Women's divisions, with the exception of baseball, in which only men participate, and softball, which is for women only. The following sports have a high school division, in which the associated high schools of the universities participate: volleyball, table tennis, chess, swimming, fencing, and athletics have Boys' and Girls' divisions. Meanwhile, baseball and football have a Boys' division only. Basketball staged Girls' division competitions starting Season 82 albeit as demo sport only.{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/uaap-hold-girls-basketball-demo-sport-season-82/156640|title=UAAP to hold Girls' Basketball as Demo Sport for Season 82|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=August 8, 2019}} Junior High School Basketball was introduced as a demo sport in Season 86.{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/uaap-breaks-new-ground-with-inaugural-junior-high-school-basketball-tournament/296299|title=UAAP breaks new ground with inaugural junior high school basketball tournament|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=March 7, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/campus/sports/2024/03/08/2339044/uaap-debuts-junior-high-school-hoops|title=UAAP debuts junior high school hoops|website=The Philippine Star|date=March 8, 2024}} Esports is the latest sport added by the league and was introduced in Season 87.{{cite web|url=https://all-starmagazine.com/news-and-updates/uaap-esports-2024/|title=Finally, UAAP Embraces Esports|website=All-Star Magazine|date=May 30, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/uaap-embraces-esports-tournament-launches-with-nba2k-valorant-mlbb-and-all-school-participation/309221|title=UAAP Esports Tournament launches with NBA2K, Valorant, MLBB and all-school participation|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=August 9, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/513989/esports-is-now-part-of-the-uaap-and-yes-they-are-sports/|title=Esports is now part of the UAAP—and yes, they are sports|website=Lifestyle Inquirer|date=August 16, 2024}} Rapid and Blitz Chess were also introduced as demonstration sports in Season 87.{{cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/season-87-ushers-in-new-era-for-uaap-chess-with-blitz-rapid-formats/331808|title=Season 87 ushers in new era for UAAP chess with blitz, rapid formats|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=March 21, 2025}}

A rivalry between the Ateneo de Manila University and the University of the Philippines, the country's two highest-ranked academic institutions for decades, existed even before the formation of the NCAA and UAAP.{{Cite web|url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/272900/uaap-fans-guide-rivalries/|title=A UAAP fan's guide to rivalries|website=Lifestyle Inquirer|date=September 9, 2017}} Students of UP would troop from Padre Faura to the Ateneo campus in Intramuros to play basketball with the Ateneans,

{{main|Ateneo–La Salle rivalry}}

The rivalry between Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University, widely regarded as the Philippines' foremost collegiate rivalry for decades, has resulted in sold-out games (especially in men's basketball and women's volleyball, the latter of which both schools hold the current all-time record for the longest joint UAAP Finals appearance from 2012 to 2017) that attract several public figures in attendance, including politicians, movie stars, and foreign diplomats.{{Cite web|url=https://www.spot.ph/shopping/shopping-sale-alerts/46260/uaap-basketball-10-points-on-the-ateneo-la-salle-rivalry-|title=UAAP Basketball: 10 Things About the Ateneo-La Salle Rivalry You May Not Know|website=SPOT.ph|date=August 4, 2010}} It is also the foremost school rivalry in the UAAP since La Salle joined the UAAP from the NCAA in 1986.{{Cite web|url=https://thegame-onemega.com/when-blue-and-green-clash-the-roots-of-the-iconic-ateneo-la-salle-rivalry/|title=When Blue and Green Clash: The Roots of the Iconic Ateneo-La Salle Rivalry|website=The Game|date=October 4, 2023}} However, the rivalry dates back to the time when both schools were playing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 1924 until Ateneo transferred to the UAAP in 1978.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/23/sports/23rivalry.html?_r=1&oref=slogin |title=A Nation's Passion Lives in a Rivalry of Green vs. Blue |website=New York Times |access-date=September 23, 2008 |first=Rafael |last=Bartholomew | date=September 23, 2007}}{{cite web|url=http://www.quezon.ph/2007/11/05/the-explainer-la-salle-ateneo-rivalry/|title=The Explainer: La Salle Ateneo Rivalry|website=quezon.ph|date=November 5, 2007}}{{cite web|url=https://www.esquiremag.ph/culture/a-brief-history-of-the-ateneo-la-salle-rivalry-a1993-20170911-lfrm2|title=A Brief History of the Ateneo vs De La Salle rivalry|website=Esquire|date=September 11, 2017}}

{{main|UP–UST rivalry}}

The cheerdance rivalry between the University of the Philippines and the University of Santo Tomas has been one of the most productive rivalries in any event in UAAP history. Since the inception of the cheerdance, UP and UST possess the best winning records, dominating the top podium finishes between the 1990s and early 2010s, including consecutive joint podium finishes by both schools from 1999 to 2008. Both schools' pep squads are famous for their stunts and high-energy performances. UST has won eight cheerdance titles which included five straight victories from 2002 to 2006, while UP has won eight cheerdance titles and completed podium finishes for a total of 20 years, the longest such streak for the event. Since 2010, the rivalry turned into a friendly one as both UP and UST supporters cheered their school cheers during the announcement of winners.{{cite news|url=http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/09/16/10/ust-friendship-emerges-after-cheerdance-competition |title='UP-UST friendship' emerges after cheerdance competition |publisher=ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs abs-cbnnews.com. |access-date=July 16, 2011 |first=Karen |last=Flores | date=September 16, 2010}}

Although matches between these universities have not reached a rivalry status in sporting events outside of cheerdance, the battle between their respective teams may be referred to as "Separation of Church and State".{{cite web|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/09/13/15/ust-game-sends-netizens-abuzz/|title=UP-UST game sends netizens abuzz|website=ABS-CBN News|date=September 13, 2015|access-date=March 18, 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.rappler.com/sports/university/uaap/105781-up-ust-church-state|title=UP vs UST 'Church vs State' match evokes battles of years past|website=rappler.com|date=September 13, 2015 |access-date=March 18, 2018}} UST is the sole pontifical university in the country wherein Pope Pius XII gave it the title "The Catholic University of the Philippines".{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.ust.edu.ph/about/history/|website=Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, The Catholic University of the Philippines|publisher=UST|access-date=13 February 2017}} UP, on the other hand, has been declared by the Philippine government as the country's "national university".{{cite web|title=Republic Act No. 9500|url=http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2008/ra_9500_2008.html|website=The LawPhil Project|access-date=30 March 2017}}

The popularity of the rivalry between the two universities' cheerdance teams diminished in the late 2010s as a result of the rise of National University and Adamson University. It gained greater prominence when the two teams competed against each other in the UAAP men's basketball semifinals in 2019 and 2024. The Growling Tigers overcame the twice-to-beat Fighting Maroons in the former while the Fighting Maroons posted their first ever head-to-head Final Four-era playoffs victory over the Growling Tigers in the latter to enter the UAAP Finals.{{Cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-men/ust-tigers-outduel-up-maroons-in-thriller-earn-shot-at-ateneo-in-uaap-finals-a2437-20191113|title=UST Tigers outduel UP Maroons in thriller, earn shot at Ateneo in UAAP Finals|website=SPIN.ph|date=November 13, 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/survives-early-ust-storm-advances-uaap-82-finals/169721|title=Renzo Subido clutch trey boots out UP, books UST ticket to UAAP 82 Finals|website=Tiebreaker Times|date=November 13, 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/373200/ust-eliminates-no-2-up-roars-back-into-uaap-finals|title=UST eliminates No. 2 UP, roars back into UAAP Finals vs Ateneo|website=Inquirer|date=November 13, 2019}}{{Cite web |last=Jr |first=Rommel Fuertes |date=2024-11-16 |title=Pido looks to write 'new story' in UST's UAAP Final Four return |url=https://sports.inquirer.net/594568/pido-looks-to-write-new-story-in-usts-uaap-final-four-return |access-date=2024-11-16 |website=INQUIRER.net |language=en}}

{{main|La Salle–UST rivalry}}

Both were known for their numerous basketball championship matches in the 1990s with UST winning four straight titles from 1993 to 1996, the last three of which were at the expense of the Green Archers at the UAAP Finals. In 1997, La Salle eliminated UST in the semifinals to deny the Growling Tigers of a fifth consecutive championship title. In 1999, La Salle defeated the Growling Tigers to win the basketball crown and achieved their own 4-peat championship streak from 1998 to 2001.{{cite web|url=https://thelasallian.com/2012/11/21/an-unspoken-collegiate-rivalry-dlsu-vs-ust/|title=An unspoken collegiate rivalry: DLSU vs. UST|website=The LaSallian|date=November 21, 2012}}{{cite web|url=https://thelasallian.com/2013/09/29/back-to-the-90s-la-salle-ust-face-off-in-finals/|title=Back to the 90s: La Salle, UST face off in finals|website=The LaSallian|date=September 29, 2013}}{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-men/five-uaap-teams-that-have-truly-built-dynasties-a2437-20200404-lfrm|title=Five UAAP teams that have truly built dynasties|website=SPIN.ph|date=April 4, 2020}} Their basketball rivalry diminished in latter years because of UST's decline.

It became a celebrated rivalry in women's volleyball, as the Lady Spikers and the Tigresses met three times in the championship of the Shakey's V-League tournament. UST won the first and La Salle winning the latter two. The Tigresses have won five championships while the Lady Spikers have three under their belt.{{cite news|url=http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/manila-bulletin/mi_7968/is_2010_Feb_21/la-salle-ust-duel-volleyball/ai_n50161055/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711221629/http://findarticles.com/p/news-articles/manila-bulletin/mi_7968/is_2010_Feb_21/la-salle-ust-duel-volleyball/ai_n50161055/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 11, 2012 |title=La Salle, UST duel for volleyball title |work=Manila Bulletin |date=February 21, 2010 |publisher=findarticles.com |access-date=July 18, 2011}}

The women's volleyball rivalry was carried over to the UAAP. The DLSU Lady Spikers and the UST Tigresses met in the UAAP Finals for two consecutive seasons – Season 72 (won by UST) and Season 73 (won by La Salle). While UST struggled in the tournament during the mid-2010s, both schools met in the semifinals in Seasons 79 and since Season 85, where La Salle won in Seasons 79 and 85, and UST won in Seasons 81 and 86. Notably, in Season 81, UST ended La Salle's decade-long streak of finals appearances (running from 2009 to 2018). It was the longest in the Final Four era of UAAP volleyball.{{cite news|url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2019/05/05/1915257/ust-ousts-dlsu-barges-uaap-womens-volleyball-finals|title=UST ousts DLSU, barges into UAAP women's volleyball finals|website=The Philippine Star|date=May 5, 2019}}

The rivalry between Far Eastern University and University of the East started in the 1950s. Tagged as the "Battle of the East", these two schools, along with UST, have the winningest basketball squads in the league (FEU having won 20 basketball championships while UE having won 18 titles).{{cite web|last=Mendoza|first=Shielo|title=FEU Tamaraws|url=http://ph.news.yahoo.com/blogs/collegehoops/feu-tamaraws-103707081.html|work=College Hoops|publisher=Yahoo Southeast Asia|access-date=September 20, 2011}}

The rivalry was sparked after the Season 54 Basketball Finals in 1991 when La Salle's final game win was protested by FEU after a Green Archer was admitted into the playing court after being disqualified. The UAAP Board upheld the protest and ordered the replay. The protest was taken up by FIBA, the highest international governing body in basketball. FIBA and the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) supported La Salle's stand on the issue.{{cite news|url=http://humblebola.com/the-rewind-the-origin-of-the-feu-dlsu-rivalry/|title=The Rewind: The Origin of the FEU-DLSU Rivalry|website=Humblebola|date=October 26, 2018|archive-date=October 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019034150/http://humblebola.com/the-rewind-the-origin-of-the-feu-dlsu-rivalry/|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=https://takeaimsports.com/75/coach-pumaren-it-is-unfair-for-us/|title= Coach Franz reacts to Montinola statement|website=Take Aim Sports |date=July 22, 2008}}{{cite news|url=https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-men/strange-end-to-the-feu-vs-la-salle-finals-in-1991-a2437-20200403|title= Remember this strange end to the FEU vs La Salle finals in 1991?|website=SPIN.ph|date=April 3, 2020}} La Salle did not show up, claiming to have won legitimately, and FEU was awarded the trophy by default.

The rivalry between La Salle and FEU has produced several momentous scenes and drama in UAAP Basketball history. FEU and La Salle faced each other in the UAAP Finals in 2004 and 2005, with the Green Archers prevailing in 2004 and FEU winning the year afterwards. However, La Salle's 2004 championship was forfeited and handed to the Tamaraws instead after a controversial ineligibility issue, which also caused La Salle's suspension in 2006.{{cite news|url=http://thelasallian.com/2015/10/26/dissecting-rivalries-la-salle-versus-ateneo-ust-and-feu |title=Dissecting Rivalries La Salle versus Ateneo, UST, and FEU |website=The LaSallian |date=October 26, 2015}}

While both Adamson University and the University of the Philippines jointly figured multiple times in the softball championship rounds since the tournament's Final Four playoffs format introduction in the UAAP in 1995, the rivalry gained mainstream attention when Adamson had the twice-to-beat advantage against UP in the UAAP Season 81 men's basketball semifinals. During that season, UP and Adamson were the only remaining schools that had yet to compete in the men's basketball championship round in the UAAP in the Final Four era. After losing twice in the elimination rounds, UP defeated Adamson in two games, including the overtime in the do-or-die match, to pose their first appearance in the UAAP Finals in any of the league's marquee events in the 21st century. Both schools have regularly appeared in the men's basketball playoff stages since 2022.{{cite web|url=https://sports.inquirer.net/329247/up-heads-to-first-uaap-finals-stint-in-32-years-knocks-out-adamson|title=UP Maroons heads to first UAAP finals stint in 32 years, knocks out Adamson|website=Inquirer|date=November 28, 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/sports/2018/11/28/1872518/they-go-maroons-end-decades-long-finals-absence|title=UP they go: Maroons end decades-long finals absence|website=The Philippine Star|date=November 28, 2018}}

The Adamson Soaring Falcons and the Ateneo Blue Eagles did not have a well-known rivalry, but Adamson ended a 13-year, 29-match losing streak against Ateneo in the UAAP Season 74 basketball tournaments when they defeated Ateneo in the last game of the elimination round and denied the Blue Eagles of a thrice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals.

While Adamson and Ateneo's UAAP men's basketball rivalry was rekindled by their semifinal matchup in UAAP Season 85, both notably competed in the playoffs of women's volleyball in UAAP Seasons 75, 76 and 84, with Ateneo prevailing in all mentioned matchups and, in the latter case, ousting Adamson from contention for the Final Four round.

The UAAP's first media was with the Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) from 1975 to 1984. The Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) also had a coinciding deal from 1979 to 1989.

In 1989, Radio Philippines Network (RPN) began their partnership with the UAAP. Two years later in 1991, Louis Kierulf agreed to a deal with the UAAP to put their entire basketball championship on television through Silverstar Communications. Silverstar would continue broadcasting the UAAP until 1999, during which the broadcasts moved to People's Television Network (PTV) in 1994.{{cite news |author=Catacutan, Dodo |date=September 23, 2016 |title=Meet the man who first put an entire UAAP basketball season on television |work=Sports Interactive Network Philippines |publisher=Summit Digital |url=http://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap/special-reports/meet-the-man-who-first-put-uaap-basketball-on-television-in-nine-days |access-date=September 25, 2016}}

In 2000, ABS-CBN, through their sports division, became the UAAP's next media partner for the new millennium.{{cite web |last1=Amago |first1=Irwin |title=A UAAP History |url=http://www.theguidon.com/1112/main/2009/11/a-uaap-history/ |website=The Guidon |date=November 26, 2009 |access-date=23 May 2019}}

Studio 23 first broadcast the games from 2000 to 2013 before getting replaced by its successor S+A for the rest of the deal. ABS-CBN also broadcast select games in the 2000s and again from 2010 to 2020. Other channels from the network that also broadcast games were Balls (2009–2015) and Liga (2018–2020).

The ABS-CBN deal ended in 2020 as a result of the network's shutdown.

In search of a new media partner, the association entered a deal with Cignal TV to broadcast games through One Sports. This also included the establishment of the UAAP Varsity Channel, a dedicated channel for the association similar to the Philippine Basketball Association's PBA Rush, which is also owned by Cignal.

TV5 also broadcast a selection of games in 2022, while Pilipinas Live serves as the league's streaming partner.
