The team competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's North Division. They are one of four teams based in Metro Manila's Southern District and play their home games at Olivarez College.

As of 2023, the Parañaque Patriots is tied with the Laguna Krah Asia for the longest active playoff drought in the MPBL, with both teams having missed the playoffs since 2019.

History

The team were one of the ten charter teams in the MPBL as part of the 2018 season. On January 25, 2018, Parañaque played in the inaugural game against the Caloocan Supremos, where they won, 70-60. Despite finishing the season with a losing record, Parañaque made the playoffs as the seventh seed. They went against the second-seeded Bulacan Kuyas in the Quarterfinals where they would pull off an upset, beating Bulacan in three games. In the Semifinals against the Muntinlupa Cagers, Parañaque won game 1, but fell in the next 2 games to be eliminated.

The team would not perform well in the next two seasons, finishing 9-16 (10th) and 8-22 (14th) in the 2018–19 and 2019–20 seasons, respectively.

The team would then take a hiatus before returning to the league in 2023.
