Three championship titles are disputed in UAAP football, one for each division, namely the men's, women's and juniors. The tournament is a double round robin elimination. A Team that sweeps both rounds automatically wins the championship. Otherwise, the number one and two ranked teams meet in the Finals round with the former having a twice-to-beat advantage over the number two team. Games in the Finals go into extra time if the score is a draw at the end of Regulation Time. The extra time consists of two 15-minute periods. If there is still no winner after the extra time, then the game will go to a penalty shootout (free kick) to decide the winner.
Men's volleyball games were mostly held at the Blue Eagle Gym and some at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. Women's volleyball action meanwhile had its opening games at the Blue Eagle Gym and transferred to Ninoy Aquino Stadium in the succeeding games. The boys' and Girls' volleyball games were mostly held at the University of the East Gymnasium with some games held at the University of the Philippines College of Human Kinetics Gym.

^All games of De La Salle from January 15 onwards were forfeited when player Jacqueline Alarca continued playing despite her school's approval of her leave of absence.
