The Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup is a men's regional basketball league in the Philippines. The league comprises teams from the Visayas and Mindanao regions, similar to the Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association (MVBA) from 2006 until 2008, with the aim of searching for local, homegrown talent from those regions.[1]

The first tournament for the inaugural season of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup opened on April 9, 2021. Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, at least its first conference will be held in a bio-secure bubble, with Alcantara, Cebu and Pagadian City serving as hubs for Visayas- and Mindanao-based teams, respectively.[2] Cebu City was supposed to host the bubble for Visayas teams, but due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the city and its surrounding localities, the town of Alcantara, located roughly 100 kilometers southwest of Cebu City, was chosen as replacement host.[3][4][5]
