The 2024 NBTC National Finals was a basketball competition in the Philippines hosted by the National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) to determine the champion for the 2023–2024 NBTC League season. It involved 32 high school teams, with 16 regional teams, two representatives from the National Capital Region (NCR), two wildcard entries, and seven global squads. It began on March 18, 2024, and ended on March 24. Also taking place during this time was the NBTC All-Star Game and several other side events.
For the first time since international teams started participating in the NBTC National Finals in 2016, international teams won both Division 1 & Division 2 titles, with Fil-Am Nation Select-USA winning Division 1 and Top Flight Sports-Canada West winning Division 2.
Its current format involves high school teams and clubs going through local city qualifiers, then on to the regional championships. There are four regionals: North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Four spots from each region are contested, for a total of 16 teams. For this season, 68 teams participated in the local city qualifiers.[1] For teams based in the NCR, the UAAP Jrs. and NCAA Jrs. tournaments are used as qualifiers.[2] The winner of the CESAFI in Visayas also qualifies for the national finals.
