Fresh off the excitement of the Red Bull Half Court 2025 World Finals in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Red Bull has officially announced that the global spotlight now turns to the Philippines. In 2026, Manila will host the Red Bull Half Court World Finals—marking the first major 3-on-3 world championship held outside of FIBA’s events.
As the new host, the Philippines is ready to welcome athletes and fans from around the world to experience the heart, grit, and electric streetball culture that Filipinos are known for. The 2026 World Finals aims to showcase the country’s passion, energy, and love for basketball, giving the global community a taste of what makes 3-on-3 play special on Philippine soil.
At the center of it all is Red Bull Half Court’s signature 3-on-3 format—fast, intense, and built for highlight-reel action. Teams compete on a half-court setup with a tight 12-second shot clock. Each game lasts up to 10 minutes or ends the moment a team hits 21 points. It’s a format that rewards speed, creativity, and pure instinct, pushing players to make split-second decisions under pressure.
This historic moment for Philippine basketball will gather the world’s best 3-on-3 streetball teams in Manila for an event unlike any other. Follow the road to the Finals and stay updated on all announcements through the official Red Bull website and Red Bull Philippines’ social media channels.
