The UAAP Season 87 basketball tournaments are the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) basketball tournaments for the 2024–25 school year. The University of the Philippines Diliman are the hosts.
In the men's tournament, the De La Salle Green Archers finished first, with the UP Fighting Maroons second. The UST Growling Tigers finished third, while the Adamson Soaring Falcons eliminated the UE Red Warriors in the 4th seed playoff. Both UP and La Salle won the semifinals match-ups over Adamson and UST, respectively, marking their second overall head-to-head UAAP Finals matchup. For the fourth consecutive season, the men's basketball finals series reached a do-or-die third game - the longest such streak so far for the tournament in UAAP Final Four history. UP defeated La Salle to win their 4th men's championship.
In the women's tournament, the NU Lady Bulldogs advanced to the finals outright after winning all elimination round games. The Adamson Lady Falcons defeated the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the first round of the stepladder. UST defeated Adamson on the next round, setting up a rematch from last year's finals with NU. The series lasted three full games, with NU defeating UST to win their 8th women's championship.
In the junior high school tournament, the UE Junior Warriors finished first, followed by the FEU Diliman Baby Tamaraws; they have the twice-to-beat advantage against the NUNS Bullpups and the UST Tiger Cubs, respectively. While UE defeated NUNS, UST upset FEU Diliman in the semifinals. The Junior Warriors then defeated the Tiger Cubs to win the first junior high school championship, and first basketball championship for UE since 1985.
