Red Bull has officially confirmed that the Philippines will serve as the host nation for the Red Bull Half Court 2026 World Finals, marking another major milestone for the country’s growing street basketball scene.

While the exact venue and full schedule have yet to be revealed, the Philippines is set to take the spotlight next year, following Dubai’s stint as host of the global 3x3 tournament. The announcement has sparked excitement among Filipino basketball fans, who continue to be one of the most passionate communities in the sport.

At the 2025 edition held in Japan, Egypt claimed the men’s title, while Japan secured the championship in the women’s division.

The Philippines was represented this year by Uratex Dream in the women’s bracket and Taho Story in the men’s division, both of which showcased strong performances on the international stage.

With the 2026 World Finals on home soil, expectations are high as the country prepares to welcome top streetball teams from around the globe.
