The 2025 Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup (also known as the 18th Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup presented by ABC Tile Adhesive due to sponsorship reasons)[1] is the eighteenth edition of the college basketball tournament organized by Filoil EcoOil Sports. The tournament began on May 18 and will end on July 27, with all games taking place at the Playtime Filoil Centre (formerly known as Filoil EcoOil Centre) in San Juan.

The tournament will feature 17 teams from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), with the Ateneo Blue Eagles being the only team from either association absent.[2]

The UP Fighting Maroons enter this tournament as the two-time defending Preseason Cup champions.
