Notes

[edit | edit source]
a ^ Match was moved from the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila to Biñan Football Stadium in Biñan to anticipated bad weather due to Typhoon Mangkhut (Ompong).[5]
b ^ Davao Aguilas by topping their group were given the right to play their semifinal match at home but due to the unavailability of their home stadium at the Davao del Norte Sports Complex in Tagum, the club opted to play their semifinal match at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.[6]
