2023 NBA Playoff Rules
The NBA follows a unique and unconventional format to decide the winners. The playoffs last about two months and include several games.
- NBA teams are divided into two conferences: Eastern and Western. Each conference consists of 15 teams, organized into three divisions. After the league stage, the top eight teams in each conference advance to the playoffs.
- The NBA playoffs follow a tournament format with each team in a conference facing an opponent. The two teams play seven games and the team that wins four advances to the next round.
- In Round 1, the eight teams from a conference are paired as follows:
Rank 1 vs. Rank 8
Rank 2 vs. Rank 7
Rank 3 vs Rank 6
Rank 4 vs Rank 5
- The second round of the playoffs consists of the conference semifinals. It pits the winners of the four Round 1 matchups against each other. The two remaining teams meet in the conference finals in Round 3, and the winners play to become champions in Round 4 of the NBA Finals.
*Round 3: The conference finals are currently underway.
