Pinoy Boyband Superstar is a Filipino reality singing competition shown on ABS-CBN. The show is hosted by Billy Crawford. The judges of the show are composed of Aga Muhlach, Yeng Constantino, Sandara Park and Vice Ganda. The show premiered on September 10, 2016, replacing the third season of The Voice Kids. The goal of the show is to find the members for the newest "Pinoy boyband" (all-male Filipino pop group).

The 5-member Pinoy Boyband will win a talent management contract from Star Magic, a recording contract from Star Music, 5 units of Yamaha Mio motorcycles and a total cash prize of ₱5,000,000 tax free from Yamaha and ABS-CBN.

Niel Murillo, Russell Reyes, Ford Valencia, Tristan Ramirez and Joao Constancia are the members of the first Pinoy Boyband called BoybandPH. They performed their first single, "We Made It", at the end of the show.

Pinoy Band Superstar is based on the Latin-American singing competition series La Banda created by Simon Cowell and shown on Univision. According to ABS-CBN: "the reality show aims to find new Pinoy boy bands that will bring romance and good music to television viewers."

The audience will have a big part in choosing the boy bands. According to the host, performers will have to go through the all-female audience first and have at least 75% of them for approval before performing in front of the judges. Crawford also acknowledged that it would not be easy to look for new boy bands. He stated: "...it's not all about the looks -- it's about the charm, about the performance. [Judges would also have] special technical aspects [in order for them] to save a performer from the audience..."
