The 1988 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Open Conference was the first conference of the 1988 PBA season. It started on March 20 and ended on June 9, 1988. The tournament is an Import-laden format, which requires an import or a pure-foreign player for each team.

Format

The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference:

  • Double-round robin eliminations; 10 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win-loss records.
  • Team with the worst record after the elimination round will be eliminated.
  • Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the five remaining teams. Results from the elimination round will be carried over.
  • The top two teams in the semifinals advance to the best of seven finals. The last two teams dispute the third-place trophy in a best-of-five playoff.
