NCAA Season 99 was the 2023–24 season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines) (NCAA). It was hosted by José Rizal University (JRU). The opening ceremony was held on September 24, 2023, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Background On April 30, 2023, Emilio Aguinaldo College handed over the hosting duties of the NCAA to José Rizal University during the NCAA Cheerleading Competition of the NCAA Season 98 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. The NCAA is expected resume tournaments for badminton and table tennis, after being not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sporting calendar had been re-expanded which has been previously reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Badminton and table tennis had been reintroduced while new disciplines such as kiddie basketball and 3x3 were introduced. In addition, a battle-for-third was introduced for the first time in association history, which was used for all events except for track and field and swimming.
Broadcaster GMA Network also introduced AI sportscasters Maia and Marco for the season with the use of image generation, text-to-speech voice and face animation technology.
