*Acquiring team still active These are the franchise lineage of present PBA teams (present to oldest): These are the franchise lineage of defunct PBA teams (oldest to latest): All records of a franchise cease after it is acquired by a new company, except for: A unique situation regarding the Air21 Express' team records occurred before the start of the 2011–12 season when the Lina Group of Companies acquired the Red Bull/Barako Bull PBA franchise from Photokina Marketing Corporation (along with the "Barako Bull" brand).

At the same time, the Fedex/Air21/Burger King franchise was renamed "Barako Bull Energy".

After the dismal performance of Shopinas.com during the Philippine Cup, the Lina Group decided to rename the team as Air21 Express.

To create a distinction between the two Air21 franchises, the original is abbreviated as "AIR21" and the second one as "AIR21X" in the official PBA annual, Hardcourt.
