The Philippine Basketball Association 3×3 tournament for women takes then spotlight starting 22 January after a seven-year absence.

There will be six teams, including two Gilas squads, taking part in the cagefest dubbed WPBA 3×3.

The single round eliminations will be played during game days of the men's PBA 3×3 Season 3 Third Conference held every Monday and Tuesday.

"We will include the women's eliminations in the remaining Legs of the PBA 3×3 Season 3 Third Conference," said PBA deputy commissioner Eric Castro.

Castro said the top four teams at the end of the 15-game eliminations will advance to the crossover, knockout semifinals. The finalists will dispute the championship via winner-take-all.

Completing the six-team field are Uratex Dream, Angeli's Resort, Philippine Navy and Philippine Air Force.

The league first launched the women's half-court game in 2016 during the time of then-commissioner Chito Narvasa. It lasted for one season.

At that time, all 12 member ball clubs were represented. Blackwater won the Philippine Cup, NLEX emerged champion in the Commissioner's Cup and GlobalPort topped the Governors' Cup.
