5x5 basketball Men's tournament
The Philippine men's team is different from the one which competed in the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifiers. The team is still led by head coach Tim Cone who justified using a different squad citing the campaign of the 2014 Asian Games team in Incheon. The team which were coming off from playing in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup finish seventh in the Asian tournament. The 12-man roster was finalized on 2 September, including Justin Brownlee who was injured just in case he received medical clearance. However, Calvin Oftana whose name was in the 30-man list submitted to the organizers in July 2026, replaced Brownlee.
Bahrain, which has four naturalized players, upset the Philippines by winning 89–85 in the opening game. The Philippines recovered by winning the second game against Kazakhstan, 109–78. However, the Asian Games campaign ended after losing 61–105 to China in their final group match. They failed to advance to the quarterfinals due to being the worse third placed team across all groups. This marks the first time the Philippines failed to qualify to the final round in men's basketball at the Asian Games since 1966.

Boxing
The Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) fielded a seven-member squad for the 2026 Asian Games.
Due to Marcial's scheduled professional bout, Weljon Mindoro was considered as a replacement in the 80 kg division. However, Mindoro's August 2026 knockout loss to Carlos Ocampo made him ineligible to compete for 60 to 90 days, extending into the Asian Games. Marcial, who remained entered by the ABAP, ultimately withdrew despite a 19 September knockout win over Omar Huerta, citing the risk posed by the short turnaround.
The Philippines' medal streak in boxing was preserved by Carlo Paalam's victory in the quarterfinals. However, the gold medal drought dating back to the 2010 edition continued as he lost via split decision in the final.
