2025 MPBL finals

The 2025 MPBL finals will be the championship series of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League's (MPBL) 2025 season and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. The best-of-five series will be played between the North Division champion Abra Solid North Weavers and the South Division champion (either the Quezon Huskers or Biñan Tatak Gel). The series is expected to start in December 2025. Abra will have homecourt advantage, as they hold sole possession of the best regular season record in 2025.

Background

Abra Solid North Weavers

Jason Brickman was among the players signed by Abra during the off-season, becoming a key player during the playoffs.^[1] He will join the PBA after this series.

After losing to the eventual champion Pampanga Giant Lanterns in the North Division quarterfinals in their inaugural season,^[2] the team made numerous acquisitions leaning towards younger talent. The team signed Dave Ildefonso,^[3] Geo Chiu,^[4] Jason Brickman,^[5] and Encho Serrano among others.^[6]

Abra's rebuild towards youth ended up paying off big time as the Weavers dominated the regular season, going 28–1. The team put together a 26-game winning streak, surpassing Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards' mark of 25 from 2022,^[7] and breaking a tie for most regular season wins in a season, which was shared by five different teams.

Their dominant form continued in the playoffs. They first swept expansion team Ilagan Isabela Cowboys in the division quarterfinals, and then eliminated the Caloocan Batang Kankaloo in the division semifinals with another two-game sweep.^[1] They then met an unlikely opponent in the North Division finals, as they faced the seventh-seeded Pangasinan Heatwaves, who joined the league alongside Abra in 2024. In the best-of-five Northern Luzon showdown, Abra beat Pangasinan in three games to reach their first MPBL finals after just two seasons.^[8]

After this series, multiple players, including Chiu and Brickman, will move up to the Philippine Basketball Association following their selections in the PBA season 50 draft.
