The Play-In Showdown is back, and the fight for a playoff spot is fiercer than ever! This year, the seventh and eighth-placed teams will face off in a single elimination game on Tuesday, April 15. The winner secures a spot in the quarterfinals, where they’ll go head-to-head with the second-ranked team in a best-of-five series.
Meanwhile, the ninth and tenth-placed teams will battle it out in another single game on Friday, April 18. The loser’s season ends, but the victor gets another chance! They’ll face the loser of the first Play-In Showdown game (either the seventh or eighth-place team) in a final showdown for the last playoff spot. The winner of this matchup earns a place in a best-of-five series against the top-ranked team from the regular season.
Home-court advantage plays a crucial role in the Play-In Showdown. Each game will be hosted by the team with the higher finish in the regular season.

These series begin on Tuesday, April 22 and will continue until Wednesday, May 7.
The higher-ranked team from the regular season will have home-court advantage for the first two games and a potential fifth game in each series. The winners of these series will advance to the Final Four.
