Also affected are the junior high school boys' matches, which were set to pit Far Eastern University-Diliman against Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle-Zobel against Adamson University.

Meanwhile, high school volleyball games are also among those postponed by the league. 

These games are University of Santo Tomas versus Adamson, National University Nazareth School versus UE, FEU-D versus University of the Philippines Integrated School, and De La Salle Zobel versus Ateneo.

The basketball contests were scheduled to take place at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, while the volleyball matches were set for Paco Arena in Manila.

This is the second postponement of the league in recent days, with the UAAP rescheduling last Sunday's games to November 3 due to the USTET in the UST campus in España.
