Asian Games 2026 Basketball Schedule: Gilas Games, Results and Standings
Correction: Gilas exited in group play, not the quarterfinals
Verified editorial update: October 15, 2026 (PHT). This dated update supplements the original report; archived results, images and previous analysis remain below.
The Asian Games 2026 basketball schedule must distinguish the Philippines’ final group-stage match from the tournament’s later knockout phase. Gilas Pilipinas lost to China 105–61 on September 14 and did not qualify for the quarterfinals. Any existing heading suggesting “Gilas quarterfinal elimination” should be interpreted as the team’s failure to reach the quarterfinals, not as a loss in a quarterfinal game.
The scores and roster details lower on this page remain valuable historical context. What matters for search accuracy is a clear answer near the top: the Philippines finished Group C at 1–2 and its run ended before the eight-team knockout bracket. Keep the basketball schedule and group table separate from later quarterfinal fixtures involving other countries.
For the completed knockout results, follow Asian Games basketball quarterfinal results and the South Korea–Japan gold-medal final. This update adds clarification; the underlying historic Gilas scorelines are preserved.
