Batangas City Sports Coliseum is an indoor arena located in Batangas City, Batangas, Philippines. The arena is home to the Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) and also hosted a selection of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and Premier Volleyball League (PVL) out-of-town games. It was also one of three venues during the 2018 PBA All-Star Week and the lone venue of the 2022 MPBL All-Star Game.
History
Philippine Basketball Association
Batangas City Sports Coliseum hosted its first out-of-town Philippine Basketball Association game during the 2016 PBA Governors' Cup on September 3, 2016 where the TNT KaTropa beat the San Miguel Beermen, 105–85. Its first PBA playoff game was game 2 of the 2017 PBA Governors' Cup semifinals series between TNT and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel, held on October 4, 2017. On May 25, 2018, the venue hosted the Luzon leg of the 2018 PBA All-Star Week.[1]
On June 23, 2019, it hosted its first PBA doubleheader featuring the Columbian Dyip and Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the first game, followed by Barangay Ginebra and the NLEX Road Warriors in the second. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the arena wouldn't host another PBA game until May 4, 2024 when San Miguel faced off against the Meralco Bolts. It mostly recently hosted the Converge FiberXers and Barangay Ginebra in a 2024–25 PBA Commissioner's Cup game.
Premier Volleyball League

The Batangas City Athletics hosted its first-ever home game at the venue on February 3, 2018, a win against the Bataan Defenders. Since then, it has become the team's primary venue. The 2022 MPBL All-Star Game was held at the venue, the first time the event took place outside Metro Manila.[2]
