UAAP Season 82

UAAP Season 82 is the 2019–20 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).  This season is hosted by the Ateneo de Manila University. 

The eight member universities of the UAAP will be competing in the league's sixteen sport disciplines to vie for the general championship as 3x3 Basketball will now be included as a medal event in the Seniors level, with points counted towards the general championships. 

Press conference
A press conference was held at MOA Arena in the morning of September 1, 2019.  The following were announced by the UAAP Board: In support of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games that the Philippines will host from November 30, 2019 to December 11, 2019, no UAAP event will be held for the duration of the regional meet; necessitating triple-headers during Wednesdays for men's and women's basketball in order for the tournament to end by the third week of November.  Another way of ensuring the league's full cooperation, the UAAP Board will move some of the traditional first semester sports events into the second semester. 

Host Ateneo de Manila University announced the addition of new sporting events in both the collegiate and high school divisions.   Starting season 82, 3x3 Basketball will be an official sport.  For the high school division, Boys' and Girls' Beach Volleyball will be added as medal events and Boys' and Girls' Lawn Tennis  as demo sports.  For the first time in league history, a Girls' Basketball Tournament will be held as a demonstration sport starting UAAP Season 82.  National University will serve as the sub-host for this inaugural tournament. 

UAAP President Em Fernandez explained that for the past two seasons, 3x3 basketball has been a demonstration sport and with the active participation of all member schools, the league has deemed to upgrade it as an official sport, raising the medal events in the collegiate level to 31. 

Far Eastern University will serve as the sub-host for this season's 3x3 basketball tournament that is set to take place on March 2020. 

On the other hand, lawn tennis and beach volleyball in the high school division will be making its debut. 

Beach volleyball, which will be sub-hosted by University of Sto.  Tomas, will open its curtains on January 2020 while lawn tennis, which will be sub-hosted by National University, is scheduled to take place on February 2020. 

Another firsts for the country's most prestigious collegiate league are the official Twitter and Instagram accounts (both @uaap_official) where official announcements from the league will be posted by the current school host and will be handed over to the next host once the current season is over. 

Opening ceremony
The opening ceremony of UAAP Season 82 was held on September 1, 2019 at the Mall of Asia Arena. " All for More" is the theme for Season 82.  Like Season 74 (the last time Ateneo hosted) and Season 79, the start of the men's basketball games won't be held after the opening ceremony.  Instead, it will be held three days later on September 4, 2019 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.  The high school volleyball tournament also commences on the same day. 

Sports calendar
This is the calendar of sports events of UAAP Season 82.  The list includes the tournament host schools and the venues.  Note should be taken for a compressed calendar as the Philippines will also be hosting the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the middle of the Season (November to December)
