This year's championship game was a rematch of last year's championship game, where the UP Fighting Maroons beat the De La Salle Green Archers, 87–76. It was also a rematch of the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball finals, where La Salle beat UP in a three-game series.

UP would come back from a 20-point deficit at the half to defend their title and become the second back-to-back Preseason Cup champions. Coincidentally, the only other team to do so was La Salle in the first two editions of the tournament (2006 and 2007).
