The 2011 Philippine Collegiate Championship was the fourth Philippine Collegiate Championship for basketball in its current incarnation, and the ninth edition overall.
The San Sebastian Stags defeated the two-time defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles in the championship series where the Stags had a twice-to-beat advantage and denied the Blue Eagles for a chance of a three-peat in the tournament; meanwhile, the San Beda Red Lions defeated the UC Webmasters in the third-place game, 82–69.
Format
The 2011 championship will feature a new format. The format ensures that the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champions automatically qualify to a round robin Final Four, and the respective semifinalists in both leagues and the finalists in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) qualify for the main draw. Other teams would have to qualify through the regional championships. In the Final Four, the team with the best record will have a twice-to-beat advantage against the #2 team.
Regional championships
North/Central Luzon
Champion teams from Vigan, Pampanga, Pangasinan and Baguio will dispute one berth that will face one of the two winners in the Metro Manila regionals.
This tournament is for the benefit of Kapit Bisig Para sa Pasig, a project of the ABS-CBN Foundation. The runners-up of the NCAA and UAAP will battle for the third spot while the champion of each league will battle for the top spot.
