The MPBL Finals, or the MPBL National Finals, is the championship series of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League held at the conclusion of the league's postseason. Since its inception, the National Finals is a best-of-five series. Since the 2019 edition, it is contested between the champions of the North Division and the South Division.
The team with the higher regular season record is given homecourt advantage in the series. The format currently being used is 2-2-1, where the team with homecourt advantage hosts games 1, 2, and 5.
Five different teams have won the national championship with neither winning more than once. Since the introduction of divisions, three teams did so as a member of the North Division, while one did so as a member of the South Division.
