It is bordered to the north by the municipality of Bamban, Tarlac; to the east by the municipality of Capas, Tarlac; to the south by the City of Angeles; and to the west by the municipality of Porac. Mabalacat serves as the gateway to Pampanga from the northern provinces of Luzon due to its strategic location along major highways and expressways.
