The seats of the 12 senators elected in 2016 were contested in this election, and the senators that will be elected in this election serve until June 30, 2028. The winners of this election will join the winners of the 2019 election to form the Senate's delegation to the 19th Congress of the Philippines with the senators elected in 2019 serving until June 30, 2025.

As the senatorial and presidential candidates appeared on the same ballot on election day, presidential candidates were able to present or endorse a slate of senatorial candidates.

Candidates associated with the UniTeam Alliance won a plurality of seats up for election, with three candidates associated with Team Robredo–Pangilinan winning seats. Several slates shared candidates. UniTeam candidate Migz Zubiri was elected Senate president.
