The North Division is one of two divisions in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), the other being the South Division. As of 2023, the North Division consists of 15 teams.
Both divisions were formed as a result of the league's national expansion in the 2018–19 season.[1] The most recent realignment occurred in the 2023 season. In that season, three returning teams in the Bulacan Kuyas, Parañaque Patriots, and Pasay Voyagers were allocated to the North Division while the Rizal Golden Coolers moved from the South Division.
