In the semifinals, the higher seed has the twice-to-beat advantage, where they only have to win once, while their opponents twice, to progress.

This is the first Finals matchup between the FEU Tamaraws and the UST Growling Tigers in 36 years.

This is also, as of 2025, the last UAAP Finals series to not feature either or both Ateneo and La Salle men's basketball teams.

ABS-CBN Sports is the official broadcaster of the UAAP Season 78 Men's Basketball Finals.

In the semifinals, La Salle has the twice-to-beat advantage, where they only have to win once, while their opponents twice, to progress.
