UAAP Season 78 was the 2015–2016 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). It opened on September 5, 2015, almost two months after the usual July opening of the league during previous seasons, due to the shift in the academic calendars of four member universities, i.e. Ateneo, La Salle, UP and UST. It was hosted by the University of the Philippines.
The eight-member universities of the UAAP competed in fifteen sports to vie for the general championship title.
The opening ceremonies of the UAAP Season 78 was held last September 5, 2015 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. "Philippine Archipelago" was the theme for the opening. A festive dance number featuring the rich history of the country and the eight vintas, consisting of eight universities of the UAAP, was performed by UP Dance & Performance groups including UP Streetdance Club, UP Dance Company, UP Dancesport Society, UP Filipiniana Dance Group, ROTC Symphonic Band, Tugma and the UP Pep Squad.
It was well attended with high officials from the UAAP Board and ABS-CBN Sports present. The host's (UP) President Alfredo Pascual and UP Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan formally opened the season. This was followed with the parade of athletes and the awarding presentation of the UAAP Season 77 general championship trophies.
A basketball double header to start off the 1st elimination round, UP vs. UE at 2p.m. and Adamson vs. UST at 4p.m. followed after the opening ceremonies.
The following day at the Mall of Asia Arena, La Salle faced reigning champion NU and FEU battled Ateneo, while Women's Basketball festivities started on the same day at the Blue Eagle Gym.
A Press conference was also held at Gateway Cubao, few days before the opening.
The UAAP Season 78 seniors division basketball tournament began on September 5, 2015. The tournament host eas the University of the Philippines and the tournament commissioner was Atty. Rene "Rebo" Saguisag, Jr together with his deputies Romy Guevarra, Joe Lipa and Bai Cristobal. Referees from BRASCU will be hired for officiating. UAAP adopts FIBA rules on technicals, timeouts, among others.
The UAAP Season 78 juniors division basketball tournament started on November 14, 2015. The tournament venue was at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym. FEU was the tournament host. The Ateneo Blue Eaglets were the defending champions.
At the end of the tournament, the FEU Tamaraws won the Men's Basketball title in a best-of-three game finals series against the UST Growling Tigers which ended on December 2, 2015.
