It is the last season for the Lyceum of the Philippines University Pirates, who play their second year as probationary and the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, who play their fifth year as probationary, as probationary members; their performance in the Season 90 would be the basis for the decision if they will be admitted as regular members of the league.^[2]

This is the last season that Sports5 will be covering the NCAA Season; starting Season 91 (2015-16 Athletic Year), the Collegiate league will return to ABS-CBN Sports, its former broadcaster from 2002 to 2011.
