What is the NBA Playoff Format?
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season to determine the league’s champion for that year. The tournament bracket is made up of eight teams from each of the league’s two conferences (Eastern and Western), with each conference seed facing off in separate mini-tournaments. The winners of each conference tournament then advance to the NBA Finals to square off for the championship title.
In order to make it to the playoffs, teams must first qualify by earning a spot in one of the top eight seeds in their respective conference. The playoff field is then set and matchups are determined by seed, with the higher seed hosting games one, two, five and seven (if necessary), and the lower seed playing host to games three, four and six (if necessary). From there, it’s a single-elimination tournament until one team is left standing as champion.
