What happens during the NBA season?
The NBA season is a long and exciting journey that starts with training camp in the fall and ends with the NBA Finals in the summer.

The NBA 2022 season will start on October 19 and end on April 16. The playoffs will start on April 17 and end on June 26.
When do the NBA playoffs start?
The playoffs follow a pre-determined schedule that culminates with the NBA Finals.
The first round of the playoffs, or the conference quarterfinals, features four matchup series in each conference. The top seed in each conference hosts the eighth seed, the second seed hosts the seventh seed, the third seed hosts the sixth seed and the fourth seed hosts the fifth see in a best-of-seven series.
The four winners of those series advance to the second round of the playoffs, or the conference semifinals. In this round, the matchups are reseeded so that the higher remaining seed plays against the lower remaining seed. The winners of those two series advance to the third round of the playoffs, or the conference finals. The conference finals are also best-of-seven series with reseeded matchups.
The winners of each conference finals advance to play in The Finals (formerly known as the NBA Championship), which is also a best-of-seven series. Home court advantage in The Finals is awarded to whichever team had a better regular season record; if both teams have identical records then home court advantage is determined by whichever team won their head-to-head matchup(s) during that regular season.
How long do the NBA playoffs last?
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament among 16 Western and Eastern conference teams that follows the NBA regular season. The playoff format is bracketed, with the top eight teams in each conference qualifying. The four division winners in each conference are given seeds 1-4 and play home court advantage, while the remaining eight teams are seeded 5-12 and must play on the road.
In the first round of the playoffs, which is also known as the Wild Card round, the 5th seed plays the 4th seed, the 6th seed plays the 3rd seed, and the 7th seed plays the 2nd seed. The division winner with the worst record in each conference is matched up against the 8th seed. In all cases, higher-seeded teams have home court advantage, meaning they host games 1, 2, 5, and 7 (if necessary), while lower-seeded teams host games 3 and 4 (if necessary).
The second round of the playoffs is known as the Conference Semifinals, or simply “the semis”. In this round, each conference’s remaining highest seeds are matched up against each other while its remaining lowest seeds are eliminated. Once again, higher seeds have home court advantage.
The Conference Finals are next, pitting each conference’s two remaining teams against each other to see who goes to the NBA Finals. Home court advantage in this round depends on which team had a better regular season record; if two teams from different conferences have identical records then whichever team earned its conference’s top playoff seed receives home court advantage.
The last stop is of course the NBA Finals, where this year’s Eastern Conference champion will square off against this year’s Western Conference champion to decide which team is crowned champion for this season. Home court advantage in this round once again goes to whichever team had a better regular season record.

How long do the NBA finals last?
The NBA Finals are the annual championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
The first five games of the NBA Finals are played under a 2–2–1–1–1 format (the team with home-court advantage hosts Games 1, 2, 5 and 7), meaning that one team will have home-court advantage in games 1, 2, 5 and 7, while the other plays at home in games 3, 4 and 6.
What happens during the NBA finals?
The NBA Finals is the championship round of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winners of the Finals are awarded the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.
The series follows a 2–2–1–1–1 format (the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1, 2, 5 and 7), meaning that one team will have home court advantage in each round. The first two games are played at the home of the team with home court advantage, with Games 3 and 4 played at the home of the other team. A fifth game, if necessary, is played at a neutral site. From 1985 to 2013, the NBA Finals used a 2–3–2 format, where one team held home court advantage for games 1, 2, 5 and 7, while the other played on their home court for games 3, 4 and 6; however, if Game 5 was necessary to decide a series winner due to both teams winning two games apiece through four games (a “split”), that game would be played at a neutral site instead (as it was during 1985’s Finals).
The 2014 NBA Finals used this same format as it had since 1985; however, starting in 2015 (and continuing through 2025), there will be a slight change to this format so that Game 5 will always be held at a neutral site if necessary. This is being done to avoid having two “home” games in either Oakland or San Francisco during that time period; as one of those cities will be hosting Super Bowl L during 2015 (which will be held at Levi’s Stadium), while Super Bowl 50 during 2016 will be held at either San Francisco’s new stadium currently under construction or at Oakland Coliseum (both of which are located within 30 miles of each other).
