The 2011 Philippine Collegiate Championship was the fourth Philippine Collegiate Championship for basketball in its current incarnation, and the ninth edition overall.
The San Sebastian Stags defeated the two-time defending champion Ateneo Blue Eagles in the championship series where the Stags had a twice-to-beat advantage and denied the Blue Eagles for a chance of a three-peat in the tournament; meanwhile, the San Beda Red Lions defeated the UC Webmasters in the third-place game, 82–69.
The 2011 championship will feature a new format. The format ensures that the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champions automatically qualify to a round robin Final Four, and the respective semifinalists in both leagues and the finalists in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) qualify for the main draw. Other teams would have to qualify through the regional championships. In the Final Four, the team with the best record will have a twice-to-beat advantage against the #2 team.
Champion teams from Vigan, Pampanga, Pangasinan and Baguio will dispute one berth that will face one of the two winners in the Metro Manila regionals.
Champion teams from the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association (ISAA), National Athletic Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (NAASCU), Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (UCAA), Universities and Colleges of Luzon Athletic Association (UCLAAI) and the Men's National Collegiate Athletic Association (MNCAA), and non-playoff teams (5th and 6th) from the UAAP and NCAA will dispute two berths. One winner will face the North/Central Luzon champion while another will face the South Luzon/Bicol champion.
