Red Bull Half Court, the ultimate 3-on-3 streetball tournament, returns to the Philippines! Local streetballers can prove their skills for a chance to compete at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in the UAE this November.

The Ultimate Streetball Tournament is Back in the Philippines

Red Bull Half Court, in partnership with FILA and Spalding, brings its fast-paced 3-on-3 streetball format to players worldwide. This year’s tournament will feature qualifier rounds across five continents and over 20 countries, including newcomers South Africa, Norway, and Kosovo.

Legendary NBA shooting coach Chris ‘Lethal Shooter’ Matthews shared his excitement for this year’s tournament, saying, “Year after year, Red Bull Half court continues to push the game forward. Seeing the sport grow in new countries and watching these athletes bring their best is truly special. I can’t wait to see who makes it to the World FInal in the UAE.”

Red Bull Half Court plays out on half a basketball court with teams of three players, following FIBA rules. Each game lasts 10 minutes or ends when a team reaches 21 points, whichever comes first.

To add an exciting twist, the “Own the Court” bonus is awarded to teams with the highest total score across all games, helping them advance to the next round. The game is made even more intense with special circles behind the arc, allowing for three-point shots.

In the Philippines, Red Bull Half Court, in partnership with 7-Eleven, is changing things up for the 2025 season with a new two-day competition format for its regional qualifiers.

  • Davao: August 30-31
  • Cebu: September 13-14
  • Manila: September 27-28

Elimination rounds will take place on the first day, with the qualifier showdowns on the second. The winning teams from each city, along with select wildcard teams, will then compete at the National Final in Manila on October 18 for the chance to represent the Philippines at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in the UAE.
