Negros Muscovados

The Negros Muscovados are a Filipino professional basketball team based in Negros island. The team currently competes in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) as a member of the league's South Division. They are one of two teams based in the Negros Island Region, the other being the Bacolod City of Smiles. Both teams play their home games at La Salle Coliseum in Bacolod.

The team was established in 2021 when they began play during the 2021 MPBL Invitational, but wouldn't compete full-time until the 2023 season.

Entering the league
The Negros island was first introduced to the MPBL in the 2019–20, when the city of Bacolod was awarded one of six expansion teams that season. On February 8, 2021, the Negros Muscovados formally entered the league, becoming the second team to represent the island and the third team from Western Visayas. The team was initially going to make their debut in the 2021 MPBL season before it got postponed to 2022. The Muscovados would instead make their league debut in that year's Invitational tournament. In the Invitational, the team lost all five games of their games in the group stage and didn't advance to the playoffs.

Competing full-time
Whilst the team did not participate in the 2022 season, the team's first full-time stint with the league would come the following season. The Muscovados were one of two expansion teams that season, the other being the Quezon Huskers. In its first full-time season with the MPBL, Negros finished with a 10–18 record and ranked 11th in the South Division, two games behind the eighth-seeded team and region rivals Iloilo United Royals.

Team identity
The name alludes to the Negros island being a major producer of muscovados.

Prior to its regular season debut in 2023, the team replaced their colors, replacing blue and yellow with green, gold, and black. The color green is meant to represent the land of Negros. The logo includes a masskara, itself a reference to Bacolod's MassKara Festival. There are also six sugar canes and granules to represent Western Visayas, designated as Region VI, which is where Negros Occidental was based in before the re-establishment of the Negros Island Region in 2024.
