First held in 2006 as the Star Magic Ball, the annual celebration and charity event evolved into the more encompassing ABS-CBN Ball in 2018 to include Kapamilya artists from other management groups.

In 2023, the ABS-CBN Ball made a comeback after a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and after the network was forced off free television when Congress did not renew its broadcast franchise in mid-2020.
