UAAP Season 88 football tournaments are the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) football tournaments for its 88th season. The collegiate tournaments started on September 20, 2025. Both the collegiate and high school divisions were played at the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub Athletics Center in Imus, Cavite, and the UP Diliman Football Stadium in Quezon City, Metro Manila.[1][2] The collegiate women's tournament began on September 20 while the men's tournament followed the day after on September 21.[3]
In a unique move for this season, the league will play the first round of eliminations until October, while the second round will continue until November, before resuming in January of the next year to give way for the national teams at the 2025 FIFA Women's Futsal World Cup and the 2025 SEA Games.[4]
This is the tenth season with Rely San Agustin as the league commissioner, while University of the Philippines is the tournament's sub-host.[5]
Tournament format
The UAAP continued to use the UAAP Final Four format for the Men's and High School Boys' divisions with a double round-robin elimination round format.
A stepladder format will be enacted if a team sweeps the elimination round. However, if no team sweeps the elimination round, the league reverts to the usual twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four for the higher-seeded teams.[6]
The Women's division will also feature a double round-robin elimination round with the top two teams proceeding to the finals.

Notes:
- ^ The UAAP Disciplinary Committee penalized UE with a deduction of three points in the league table following their walk-out in their September 28 match against Ateneo. The sanction is grounded in Article 30 of the PFF Disciplinary Code—Deduction of Points which allows for the removal of points in current or future PFF competitions.[7]

Semifinals
The top two seeds have the twice-to-beat advantage where they have to win just once, while their opponents twice, to progress, provided no team wins all 12 elimination round games. If a team wins all elimination round games, the #2, #3 and #4 seeds figure in a single-elimination tournament to determine the #1 team's opponent in the finals.
Finals
The finals is a knockout single-game elimination.
