The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last.\nHow Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work?\nFor the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format.\nFollowing the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA\ndoes not\nre-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup.\nHow Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work?\nIn the Play-In Tournament, the #7 and #8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot. The #9 and #10 seed in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot.\nThe #7 team in each conference hosts the #8 team, with the winner receiving the seventh seed. The winner of the #9 vs #10 game will then face the loser of the 7-8 game, with the winner of that game earning the #8 seed in the final bracket.\nTop Bonuses for Betting NBA Playoffs\nTaking advantage of sports betting promos is a reliable way to pad your bankroll wagering on NBA playoffs, and we’ve got some suggestions if you’re looking for valuable sportsbook promo codes.\nNBA Sportsbook Bonus\nGet Promo\nBet365 Bonus Code\nBet $10, Get $365 in Bonus Bets Win or Lose!\nBetMGM Promo Code\nGet Up To $1,500 Paid Back\nCaesars Sportsbook Promo Code\nBet $1 & Double Your Winnings on Your First 10 Wagers!\nDraftKings Promo Code\nBet $5, Get $200 in Bonus Bets Instantly!\nFanatics Promo Code\nUp To $1,000 Matched in FanCash!\nFanDuel Promo Code\nGet $300 in Bonus Bets Everyday for 10 Days!\ntheScore Bet Promo Code\nGet a 100% Bet Reset Up To $1,000\nClick the exclusive links in the right side of the table to claim these offers with our exclusive promo codes.

(The winner of 7-vs-8 claims the \\#7 seed, while the winner of 9-vs-10 faces the loser of 7-vs-8 for the \\#8 seed.)\n\n## 2026 NBA Playoff Picture\n| Seed | East | Seed | West |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | Detroit Pistons | 1 | Oklahoma City Thunder |\n| 2 | Boston Celtics | 2 | San Antonio Spurs |\n| 3 | New York Knicks | 3 | Los Angeles Lakers |\n| 4 | Cleveland Cavaliers | 4 | Minnesota Timberwolves |\n| 5 | Toronto Raptors | 5 | Houston Rockets |\n| 6 | Atlanta Hawks | 6 | Denver Nuggets |\n| 7 | Orlando Magic | 7 | Phoenix Suns |\n| 8 | Miami Heat | 8 | LA Clippers |\n\n*Seeds if the 2026 NBA Playoffs as of March 20, 2026.*\n\nBe sure to check the latest [NBA playoff odds](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/nba\/playoff-odds\/) at your book of choice with fewer than 10 games remaining in the regular season.\n\n![Promo Logo](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/media\/4\/betfanatics-icon-black-150x150.png)\n\n**FANATICS SPORTSBOOK**\n\nOffer\n\nT\\&Cs\n\n**Bet \\$5 & Get \\$400 in FanCash\\!**\n\n*Offer only available in NC, TN.

The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last.\n\n## How Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work?\nFor the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format.\n\nFollowing the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA *does not* re-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup.\n\n## How Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work?\nIn the Play-In Tournament, the \\#7 and \\#8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot.

The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last.\n\n## How Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work?\nFor the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format.\n\nFollowing the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA *does not* re-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup.\n\n## How Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work?\nIn the Play-In Tournament, the \\#7 and \\#8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot. The \\#9 and \\#10 seed in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot.\n\nThe \\#7 team in each conference hosts the \\#8 team, with the winner receiving the seventh seed. The winner of the \\#9 vs \\#10 game will then face the loser of the 7-8 game, with the winner of that game earning the \\#8 seed in the final bracket.\n\n## Top Bonuses for Betting NBA Playoffs\nTaking advantage of sports betting promos is a reliable way to pad your bankroll wagering on NBA playoffs, and we’ve got some suggestions if you’re looking for valuable sportsbook promo codes.\n\n| **NBA Sportsbook Bonus** | Get Promo |\n|---|---|\n| [Bet365 Bonus Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/bet365\/bonus-code\/) | [Bet \\$10, Get \\$365 in Bonus Bets Win or Lose\\!](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/bet365-sportsbook\/ \"Bet365 (EVG) DIME365 Non-Promo Content\") |\n| [BetMGM Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/betmgm\/offers\/) | [Get Up To \\$1,500 Paid Back](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/betmgm-sportsbook\/ \"BetMGM Sportsbook (EVG) SBD1500\") |\n| [Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/caesars\/bonuses\/) | [Bet \\$1 & Double Your Winnings on Your First 10 Wagers\\!](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/czr-sportsbook\/ \"Caesars Sportsbook (EVG)\") |\n| [DraftKings Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/draftkings\/promos\/) | [Bet \\$5, Get \\$200 in Bonus Bets Instantly\\!](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/dk-promo-1\/ \"DraftKings (EVG) Promo 1\") |\n| [Fanatics Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/fanatics\/) | [Up To \\$1,000 Matched in FanCash\\!](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/fanatics-sportsbook\/ \"Fanatics Sportsbook All-State (EVG)\") |\n| [FanDuel Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/fanduel\/bonuses\/) | [Get \\$300 in Bonus Bets Everyday for 10 Days\\!](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/fanduel-sportsbook\/ \"FanDuel Sportsbook (EVG)\") |\n| [theScore Bet Promo Code](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/sportsbooks\/thescore-bet\/) | [Get a 100% Bet Reset Up To \\$1,000](https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/espn-bet\/ \"ESPN BET EVG\") |\n\nClick the exclusive links in the right side of the table to claim these offers with our exclusive promo codes.

Meta Title	2026 NBA Playoff Bracket: Seedings, Matchups and Schedule
Meta Description	See the current 2026 NBA Playoff Bracket before the NBA Playoffs start on April 18th. Get up-to-date playoff seeding and 2026 NBA Playoff matchups.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	The bracket above lists the teams that currently hold the #7 and #8 seeds in each conference as the actual #7 and #8 seeds, but remember: those seeds are determined via the Play-In Tournament. The table below shows which teams are currently positioned to meet in the 7-vs-8 and 9-vs-10 Play-In matchups in each conference. (The winner of 7-vs-8 claims the #7 seed, while the winner of 9-vs-10 faces the loser of 7-vs-8 for the #8 seed.) 2026 NBA Playoff Picture Seed East Seed West 1 Detroit Pistons 1 Oklahoma City Thunder 2 Boston Celtics 2 San Antonio Spurs 3 New York Knicks 3 Los Angeles Lakers 4 Cleveland Cavaliers 4 Minnesota Timberwolves 5 Toronto Raptors 5 Houston Rockets 6 Atlanta Hawks 6 Denver Nuggets 7 Orlando Magic 7 Phoenix Suns 8 Miami Heat 8 LA Clippers Seeds if the 2026 NBA Playoffs as of March 20, 2026. Be sure to check the latest NBA playoff odds at your book of choice with fewer than 10 games remaining in the regular season. Sports Betting Dime ‘s early NBA Championship odds favor the Thunder, Celtics, and Spurs, though it’s the Celtics and Thunder who are currently favored to win the Eastern and Western Conference , respectively. 2026 NBA Playoffs Schedule Round Start Dates Play-In Tournament April 14-17 First Round April 18 Conference Semifinals Early May 2026* Conference Finals TBD* 2026 NBA Finals June 3 *Start dates for the conference semifinals and conference finals may be moved up if the previous rounds finish in the minimum number of days. When Do the 2026 NBA Playoffs Start? The Play-In Tournament runs over four days, from April 14 to 17. The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last. How Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work? For the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format. Following the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA does not re-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup. How Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work? In the Play-In Tournament, the #7 and #8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot. The #9 and #10 seed in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot. The #7 team in each conference hosts the #8 team, with the winner receiving the seventh seed. The winner of the #9 vs #10 game will then face the loser of the 7-8 game, with the winner of that game earning the #8 seed in the final bracket.

The table below shows which teams are currently positioned to meet in the 7-vs-8 and 9-vs-10 Play-In matchups in each conference.

The Play-In Tournament runs over four days, from April 14 to 17. The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last. ## How Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work? For the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format. Following the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA does not re-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup. ## How Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work? In the Play-In Tournament, the \#7 and \#8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot. The \#9 and \#10 seed in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot. The \#7 team in each conference hosts the \#8 team, with the winner receiving the seventh seed. The winner of the \#9 vs \#10 game will then face the loser of the 7-8 game, with the winner of that game earning the \#8 seed in the final bracket. ## Top Bonuses for Betting NBA Playoffs Taking advantage of sports betting promos is a reliable way to pad your bankroll wagering on NBA playoffs, and we’ve got some suggestions if you’re looking for valuable sportsbook promo codes. \| NBA Sportsbook Bonus \| Get Promo \| \|---\|---\| \| [Bet365 Bonus Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/bet365/bonus-code/) \| [Bet \$10, Get \$365 in Bonus Bets Win or Lose\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/bet365-sportsbook/ "Bet365 (EVG) DIME365 Non-Promo Content") \| \| [BetMGM Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/betmgm/offers/) \| [Get Up To \$1,500 Paid Back](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/betmgm-sportsbook/ "BetMGM Sportsbook (EVG) SBD1500") \| \| [Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/caesars/bonuses/) \| [Bet \$1 & Double Your Winnings on Your First 10 Wagers\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/czr-sportsbook/ "Caesars Sportsbook (EVG)") \| \| [DraftKings Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/draftkings/promos/) \| [Bet \$5, Get \$200 in Bonus Bets Instantly\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/dk-promo-1/ "DraftKings (EVG) Promo 1") \| \| [Fanatics Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/fanatics/) \| [Up To \$1,000 Matched in FanCash\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/fanatics-sportsbook/ "Fanatics Sportsbook All-State (EVG)") \| \| [FanDuel Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/fanduel/bonuses/) \| [Get \$300 in Bonus Bets Everyday for 10 Days\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/fanduel-sportsbook/ "FanDuel Sportsbook (EVG)") \| \| [theScore Bet Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/thescore-bet/) \| [Get a 100% Bet Reset Up To \$1,000](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/espn-bet/ "ESPN BET EVG") \| Click the exclusive links in the right side of the table to claim these offers with our exclusive promo codes.

Readable Markdown	The bracket above lists the teams that currently hold the \#7 and \#8 seeds in each conference as the actual \#7 and \#8 seeds, but remember: those seeds are determined via the Play-In Tournament. The table below shows which teams are currently positioned to meet in the 7-vs-8 and 9-vs-10 Play-In matchups in each conference. (The winner of 7-vs-8 claims the \#7 seed, while the winner of 9-vs-10 faces the loser of 7-vs-8 for the \#8 seed.) ## 2026 NBA Playoff Picture \| Seed \| East \| Seed \| West \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| 1 \| Detroit Pistons \| 1 \| Oklahoma City Thunder \| \| 2 \| Boston Celtics \| 2 \| San Antonio Spurs \| \| 3 \| New York Knicks \| 3 \| Los Angeles Lakers \| \| 4 \| Cleveland Cavaliers \| 4 \| Minnesota Timberwolves \| \| 5 \| Toronto Raptors \| 5 \| Houston Rockets \| \| 6 \| Atlanta Hawks \| 6 \| Denver Nuggets \| \| 7 \| Orlando Magic \| 7 \| Phoenix Suns \| \| 8 \| Miami Heat \| 8 \| LA Clippers \| Seeds if the 2026 NBA Playoffs as of March 20, 2026.

[Sports Betting Dime](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/)‘s early [NBA Championship odds](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nba/championship-odds/) favor the Thunder, Celtics, and Spurs, though it’s the Celtics and Thunder who are currently favored [to win the Eastern and Western Conference](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nba/eastern-western-conference-odds/), respectively. ## 2026 NBA Playoffs Schedule \| Round \| Start Dates \| \|---\|---\| \| Play-In Tournament \| April 14-17 \| \| First Round \| April 18 \| \| Conference Semifinals \| Early May 2026\* \| \| Conference Finals \| TBD\* \| \| 2026 NBA Finals \| June 3 \| \Start dates for the conference semifinals and conference finals may be moved up if the previous rounds finish in the minimum number of days.* ## When Do the 2026 NBA Playoffs Start? The Play-In Tournament runs over four days, from April 14 to 17. The first round gets underway on April 18 and will likely run until the first weekend of May. While the first round and NBA Finals start dates are set in stone, the second-round and conference finals start dates will hinge upon how long the series in the previous round last. ## How Does the NBA Playoff Bracket Work? For the seventh straight season, the NBA will continue with the Play-In Tournament for the 7-10 seeds in each conference before commencing the traditional 16-team playoff format. Following the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs will continue with a traditional playoff bracket: eight teams from each of the Eastern and Western Conference competing in a postseason of four rounds comprised of seven-game series. The opening round matchups are 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, 3-vs-6 and 4-vs-5. The NBA does not re-seed if upsets occur. The bracket is fixed. So the winner of the 1-vs-8 matchup in the East will play the winner of the 4-vs-5 matchup no matter who wins each matchup. ## How Does the NBA Play-In Tournament Work? In the Play-In Tournament, the \#7 and \#8 seed in each conference will each have two opportunities to win one game to earn a playoff spot. The \#9 and \#10 seed in each conference will each have to win two consecutive games to earn a playoff spot. The \#7 team in each conference hosts the \#8 team, with the winner receiving the seventh seed. The winner of the \#9 vs \#10 game will then face the loser of the 7-8 game, with the winner of that game earning the \#8 seed in the final bracket. ## Top Bonuses for Betting NBA Playoffs Taking advantage of sports betting promos is a reliable way to pad your bankroll wagering on NBA playoffs, and we’ve got some suggestions if you’re looking for valuable sportsbook promo codes. \| NBA Sportsbook Bonus \| Get Promo \| \|---\|---\| \| [Bet365 Bonus Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/bet365/bonus-code/) \| [Bet \$10, Get \$365 in Bonus Bets Win or Lose\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/bet365-sportsbook/ "Bet365 (EVG) DIME365 Non-Promo Content") \| \| [BetMGM Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/betmgm/offers/) \| [Get Up To \$1,500 Paid Back](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/betmgm-sportsbook/ "BetMGM Sportsbook (EVG) SBD1500") \| \| [Caesars Sportsbook Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/caesars/bonuses/) \| [Bet \$1 & Double Your Winnings on Your First 10 Wagers\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/czr-sportsbook/ "Caesars Sportsbook (EVG)") \| \| [DraftKings Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/draftkings/promos/) \| [Bet \$5, Get \$200 in Bonus Bets Instantly\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/dk-promo-1/ "DraftKings (EVG) Promo 1") \| \| [Fanatics Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/fanatics/) \| [Up To \$1,000 Matched in FanCash\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/fanatics-sportsbook/ "Fanatics Sportsbook All-State (EVG)") \| \| [FanDuel Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/fanduel/bonuses/) \| [Get \$300 in Bonus Bets Everyday for 10 Days\!](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/fanduel-sportsbook/ "FanDuel Sportsbook (EVG)") \| \| [theScore Bet Promo Code](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/sportsbooks/thescore-bet/) \| [Get a 100% Bet Reset Up To \$1,000](https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/go/espn-bet/ "ESPN BET EVG") \| Click the exclusive links in the right side of the table to claim these offers with our exclusive promo codes.
