| PBA conference chronology | |
The2023–24 PBA Commissioner's Cup, also known as the2023–24Honda PBA Commissioner's Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the first conference of the2023–24 PBA season of thePhilippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 21st edition of theCommissioner's Cup started on November 5, 2023, and ended on February 14, 2024. The tournament allowed teams to hire foreign players or imports with a height limit of 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m).
The opening was originally scheduled on October 15,[1] but was moved three weeks past the original date to give players that participated in the2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the2022 Asian Games time to rest.[2]
Guest team and previous Commissioner's Cup runner-upBay Area Dragons were supposed to compete during the conference, but the team was disbanded by their owners, theEast Asia Super League, prior to the start of the conference.[3]
