How long do the NBA playoffs last?

The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament among the top eight teams in each conference that follows the NBA regular season. The first two rounds are played within the conference, with four teams facing off in two best-of-seven series for each conference. The winners of those series advance to the conference finals, where they compete in another best-of-seven series. Finally, the winners of each conference final meet in the NBA Finals, a best-of-seven series to decide the champion.

In total, the NBA playoffs can last up to six weeks if all seven games are necessary in each round. However, most years see the majority of series end in four or five games, which shorten the playoff schedule.
