Vier Best-of-Seven-Serien müssen gewonnen werden — ohne Einzel-K.-o.-Überraschungen, ohne Losglück. Dieser Guide erklärt Qualifikation, Bracket und was die Finals von anderen Meisterschaften unterscheidet.
The NBA Playoffs run from April to June every year and are, by most measures, the hardest championship in professional sport to win. You have to survive four best-of-seven series — no one-and-done upsets, no lucky draw. This guide explains how teams get in, how the bracket is seeded, and what makes the NBA Finals different from every other championship.
NBA季后赛每年从4月延续至6月，被许多人视为职业体育中最难夺取的冠军头衔。球队必须赢得四轮七战四胜的系列赛——没有单场定胜负的意外，没有抽签运气。本指南解释资格赛制、积分榜规则，以及总决赛的独特之处。
Playoff NBA berlangsung dari April hingga Juni setiap tahun dan dianggap sebagai gelar juara paling sulit diraih dalam olahraga profesional. Sebuah tim harus melewati empat seri tujuh pertandingan — tanpa eliminasi satu pertandingan, tanpa keberuntungan undian. Panduan ini menjelaskan cara tim masuk, cara kerja bracket, dan apa yang membuat Final NBA berbeda.
Los Playoffs de la NBA se celebran de abril a junio cada año y son, por muchos parámetros, el campeonato más difícil de ganar en el deporte profesional. Hay que superar cuatro eliminatorias al mejor de siete — sin eliminaciones de una sola derrota, sin sorteos favorables. Esta guía explica cómo se clasifica, cómo funciona el cuadro y qué hace a las Finales únicas.
Wie Teams sich qualifizieren: Regular Season und Play-In
Die NBA Regular Season läuft von Oktober bis April — 30 Teams, 82 Spiele pro Team. Die besten sechs Teams jeder Conference (East und West) qualifizieren sich direkt für die Playoffs. Die Plätze 7 bis 10 spielen das Play-In-Tournament.
Das Play-In (seit 2021):
- Platz 7 gegen Platz 8 — Sieger erhält den 7. Playoff-Platz.
- Platz 9 gegen Platz 10 — Verlierer scheidet aus.
- Verlierer aus 7v8 gegen Sieger aus 9v10 — Sieger erhält den 8. Playoff-Platz.
Das Bracket: Seeding und Heimrecht
Die 16 Playoff-Teams werden als Setzliste 1–8 je Conference aufgestellt. Das Bracket ist fest: 1 gegen 8, 2 gegen 7, 3 gegen 6, 4 gegen 5. Die Conferences bleiben getrennt bis zu den Finals.
Heimrecht hat das höher gesetzte Team in jeder Serie — ein echter Vorteil im Best-of-Seven. Das höhere Seed empfängt in Spielen 1, 2, 5 und 7; das niedrigere in Spielen 3, 4 und 6.
Best-of-Seven: Was es braucht, um weiterzukommen
Jede Playoff-Serie geht über Best-of-Seven — das erste Team mit vier Siegen zieht weiter. Zum NBA-Titel braucht ein Team vier Seriensiege — insgesamt 16 Einzelsiege. Das sind mehr Spiele als in jedem anderen nordamerikanischen Profi-Sport-Playoff.
Die NBA Finals
Die NBA Finals bringen den Eastern-Conference-Champion gegen den Western-Conference-Champion. Heimrecht hat das Team mit der besseren Regular-Season-Bilanz. Das Format ist 2-2-1-1-1: Spiele 1 und 2 beim höheren Seed, Spiele 3 und 4 beim anderen, dann abwechselnd.
Die erfolgreichsten Franchises in der NBA-Geschichte
Die Rekordsieger seit Ligagründung 1946/47:
- Boston Celtics — 18 Titel (NBA-Rekord)
- Los Angeles Lakers — 17 Titel
- Golden State Warriors — 7 Titel
- Chicago Bulls — 6 Titel (alle mit Michael Jordan)
- San Antonio Spurs — 5 Titel

How teams qualify: the regular season and Play-In
The NBA regular season runs from October to April — 30 teams, 82 games each. At the end of the season, the top six teams in each conference (East and West) qualify directly for the playoffs. Seeds 7 through 10 in each conference enter the Play-In Tournament.
The Play-In, introduced in 2021, works like this:
- The 7th seed hosts the 8th seed — winner gets the 7th playoff spot.
- The 9th seed hosts the 10th seed — loser is eliminated.
- The loser of the 7v8 game plays the winner of the 9v10 game — winner gets the 8th playoff spot.
This means a team can finish 10th in their conference and still reach the playoffs. It also means the 7th seed has to win just once, while the 10th seed must win twice in a row.
The bracket: seeding and home court advantage
Once the 16 playoff teams are set (eight per conference), they're seeded 1 through 8. The bracket is fixed — No.1 plays No.8, No.2 plays No.7, No.3 plays No.6, No.4 plays No.5 — and conferences stay separate until the Finals.
Home court advantage goes to the higher seed in every series — a meaningful edge in a best-of-seven. The higher seed hosts Games 1, 2, 5 and 7; the lower seed hosts Games 3, 4 and 6.
One key rule: the bracket does not re-seed after each round. If the 8th seed upsets the 1st seed, they face whoever is left in the upper half of the bracket — not the highest remaining seed. This is different from tournaments like Wimbledon where the draw is partly re-randomised.
Best-of-seven: what it takes to advance
Every playoff series is best-of-seven — the first team to win four games advances. Series can end in a sweep (4–0), or go to seven games. A seventh game is win-or-go-home, on the road if you're the lower seed.
To win the NBA title, a team must win four series — 16 wins total, across up to 28 games. In practice, the Finals contenders often play between 18 and 24 games to get there, depending on how many sweeps and short series they collect along the way. It's the most games of any major North American team sport playoff.
The NBA Finals
The NBA Finals pit the Eastern Conference champion against the Western Conference champion. Home court advantage goes to the team with the better regular-season record (not the higher conference seed). The series follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format:
- Games 1 and 2 at the higher seed's arena
- Games 3 and 4 at the other team's arena
- If needed: Game 5 back with the higher seed, Game 6 with the other, Game 7 with the higher seed
The Finals MVP is awarded to the player who most determined the outcome — often, but not always, from the winning team.
The most successful franchises in NBA history
NBA titles since the league began in 1946–47:
- Boston Celtics — 18 titles (the most in NBA history)
- Los Angeles Lakers — 17 titles
- Golden State Warriors — 7 titles
- Chicago Bulls — 6 titles (all won with Michael Jordan, three consecutive in 1991–93 and 1996–98)
- San Antonio Spurs — 5 titles
The Celtics–Lakers rivalry is the defining franchise rivalry of the sport — they've met in the Finals 13 times.
When do the NBA Playoffs and Finals take place?
The Play-In Tournament typically starts in mid-April, immediately after the regular season ends. The first round of the playoffs follows within days. The NBA Finals usually begin in late May or early June and can run until mid-June if it goes to seven games.
