The Red Bull Half Court National Finals ignited the court, capping off an epic Philippine tour by uniting top-tier teams from Davao, Cebu, and Manila alongside WildCards for a one-day, all-or-nothing 3-on-3 basketball brawl.
On October 25, 2025, at Parqal, Aseana City, the nation’s fiercest 3-on-3 squads unleashed electrifying plays under Red Bull Half Court’s high-octane ruleset, scrapping for glory. Played under a 12-second shot clock, with matches capped at 10 minutes or first to 21 points, every possession carried weight—demanding sharp decision-making, tight defense, and quick execution.
But the National Final wasn’t just about competition—it was a full-on streetball celebration. Hosted by MC Pao Avila, who brought energy and insight to the event, the crowd was treated to a high-energy dance performance by the Philippine All Stars. Stance Philippines rolled in with a slick Street Car Showcase, turning heads with custom rides, while the HoopJeep partnership added a mobile court, bringing streetball culture to life. Fans also joined the fun through contests like the Dunk Competition, judged on creativity and showmanship, and the Two-Point Shootout, where sharpshooters fired clutch shots in a 60-second frenzy—lighting up the sidelines with every swish.
