[edit] Tournament format
Teams face each other in a double round-robin elimination format, with 3 points awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
By the end of the second round, top two teams in terms of league table points face each other in a finals series, with the top-seeded team having a twice-to-beat advantage. In the event that a team sweeps all the games during the eliminations, that team is immediately awarded the championship.
The tournament has two divisions: one for men, and one for women. Unlike other UAAP events, this has no junior (high school) division. As of today, seven out of the eight member universities field a team: the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila, the Far Eastern University, National University, the University of the East, the University of the Philippines, and the University of Santo Tomas.
[edit] List of Champions
The current defending champions are the University of Santo Tomas for Men's Football and Far Eastern University for Women's Football. Boy's Football was added as a demonstration sport for UAAP Season 70 in 2007-08.
* Football was a demonstration sport in the Juniors Division in UAAP Season 70, and is not included in the official count of total titles.
