Prepare your teams as Red Bull Half Court makes a triumphant return to the Philippines for a brand-new season that promises unrivaled intensity, unadulterated willpower, and intense action. In order to qualify for the Red Bull Half Court World Final, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates in November, up-and-coming local talent must demonstrate their abilities in the largest 3-on-3 streetball competition.

The Ultimate Streetball Tournament is Back in the Philippines

Players worldwide may now play the fastest variation of 3-on-3 streetball thanks to Red Bull Half Court.  Red Bull Half Court, in collaboration with FILA and Spalding, will host qualifying rounds in five continents with more than 20 competing nations, including the rookies from South Africa, Norway, and Kosovo.

“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.” ~Chris ‘Lethal Shooter’ Matthews, Legendary NBA Shooting Coach

Teams of three players compete in Red Bull Half floor games, which only occupy half the floor like traditional basketball.  FIBA regulations govern the games, which have a 10-minute regulation time limit and a 21-point maximum.  A match's winner is the player who scores the most points in regulation time or the player who scores the most points first.

The game will take an unexpected turn when teams that score the most points in all games get the "Own the Court" bonus, which will help them move on to the next round.  Two special circles behind the arc allow 3-pointers to make 3-pointers, which speeds up and intensifies the game.

In the Philippines, Red Bull Half Court and 7-Eleven are stepping up the ante for their 2025 season by implementing a new two-day qualification round tournament structure.  Regional qualifiers will be held in Manila on September 27 and 28, Cebu on September 13 and 14, and Davao on August 30 and 31.  The qualification match is scheduled for the second day, while the elimination rounds are scheduled for the first day.  The teams that win each regional qualifier will go to the Red Bull Half Court National Final in Manila on October 18. There, they will compete against a few wildcard teams for the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in the United Arab Emirates.
