# 2022 FilBasket Summer Championship

The 2022 FilBasket Summer Championship, officially known as the Puregold – FilBasket 2022 Summer Championship for sponsorship reasons, was the second tournament of FilBasket, now known as AsiaBasket, the first tournament of 2022, and the first as a professional league, being granted professional status by the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) in February 2022. The tournament began on March 18, 2022, with the playoffs running from April 25 until May 8, 2022.
The Nueva Ecija Capitals defeated the San Juan Knights in the Finals, which ignited a rivalry between the two teams that would extend into other leagues.
The 2022 Summer Championship is the first and currently only tournament to take place across multiple cities, with San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, Quezon City, and Muntinlupa hosting the games, with the latter also hosting the Finals series.

## Teams

On top of the eleven Filipino teams taking part, the Kuala Lumpur Aseel based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, served as the league's first international team, putting the total to twelve teams.

## Format

All participating teams played in a single round-robin format, where each team plays one game against all other teams, for a total of 11 games.
The top eight teams then advanced to a three-round, single-elimination playoff bracket. The Quarterfinals gives the top three a twice-to-beat advantage, needing them only one win to advance while their opponents need to win twice. The 4–5 match would instead be a single game affair. The Semifinals and Finals are both best-of-three series.
