| Southeast Asian Games appearances (overview) | |
The Philippines first sent athletes to the Southeast Asian Games in 1977. Prior to 1977, the Southeast Asian Games were known as the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games. The country has hosted the games four times; in 1981, 1991, 2005, and 2019. The Philippines were the overall champions of the SEA Games in 2005 and 2019, breaking their own 2005 record for the most gold medals in the latter. Excluding games they hosted, their best finish was in 1983, ranking second behind Indonesia.
The Philippines competed in the 33rd SEA Games in Bangkok & Chonburi (9–20 December 2025) with its largest ever delegation (1,168 athletes), winning multiple medals across sports.
The Philippines will host the 2033 Southeast Asian Games, fourteen years after they hosted the 2019 edition in several locations.
