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, which will be implemented for the first time since Season 76. ^[6]

The Women's division will also feature a double round-robin elimination round with the top two teams proceeding to the finals.

Notes:

1. ↑ 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]

*If necessary

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.

(1) UP vs. (4) La Salle

UP secured the first semifinals berth after their victory against Ateneo. ^[8] They then clinched the twice-to-beat advantage with their win against FEU ^[9] and the top seed after their win against UST. ^[10] La Salle's win against UP at the last game of the elimination rounds gave them the #4 seed. ^[11]
