The PBA on AKTV is the presentation of Philippine Basketball Association basketball games which started in the 2011-12 season^[1][2]. Telecasts are produced by Sports5, the sports division of television network TV5, and airs on Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation under the AKTV primetime block.

TV5, which was previously known as the Associated Broadcasting Company (ABC), previously handled the coverage of the games from 2004 to 2008.

This is the third time that the PBA will be aired on IBC. The first was from 1996-2002 when Vintage Sports and later Viva Sports handled the television coverage. In 2003, IBC was one of two networks (the other being NBN) that covered the PBA but ended before the season ended due to the failure of the consortium.
