The 2026 PBA Commissioner's Cup, also referred to as the PBA season 50 Commissioner's Cup, is the second conference of the 2025–26 PBA season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). The 23rd edition of the Commissioner's Cup started on March 11, 2026. The tournament will allow teams to hire foreign players or imports with unlimited height limit. The Macau Black Knights joined the conference as a guest team. A break was held from April 1 to 4 to make way for the observance of the Holy Week.

The TNT Tropang 5G are the defending Commissioner's Cup champions.

  • All participating teams played in a single round-robin elimination, with each team playing 12 games throughout the duration of the conference.
  • Teams were ranked by win-loss records with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. Any ties were broken using tiebreaker criteria.
    • As previously said last conference, the 8th seed playoff was scrapped, and is instead replaced by tiebreakers.
  • The playoff format is as follows:
  • Quarterfinals: Before this change, 1 and 2 have twice to beat against 7 and 8. 3-6 seeds go head-to-head in best of 3 series. This was changed where it patterns the previous conference, where higher seeds (1-4) have twice-to-beat advantage against lower seeds (5-8):
    • QF1: #1 vs #8
    • QF2: #2 vs #7
    • QF3: #3 vs #6
    • QF4: #4 vs #5
  • Semifinals (best-of-seven series):
    • SF1: QF1 winner vs. QF4 winner
    • SF2: QF2 winner vs. QF3 winner
  • Finals (best-of-seven series)
    • F1: SF1 winner vs SF2 winner
