Playoffs
This guide will walk you through fetching playoff schedules, including how to access games as they become available, analyzing matchup behavior, and constructing a playoff bracket.
Introduction to Playoffs
The NBA playoffs are a postseason tournament where teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences compete in a best-of-seven series format. Teams must win four out of seven games to advance, with each round (First Round, Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals) eliminating the losing team. The tournament continues until the two conference champions face off in the NBA Finals to determine the league champion.
You can access playoff data using these feeds:
- You can use the
PITparameter of the Schedule feed to access the Play-In Tournament Schedule. The Play-In Tournament is used to determine the 7th and 8th seeds for each conference’s playoff bracket. For example:
https://api.sportradar.com/nba/production/v8/en/games/2023/PIT/schedule.xml?api= - The Series Schedule endpoint provides playoff participant information as well as the date, time, location, and other event details for every match-up taking place for the entire playoffs.
- Finally the Series Statistics endpoint returns detailed team and player statistics for a given playoff series.
Prerequisite - Accessing Available Seasons
To avoid confusion and ensure you're accessing available data, refer to our Seasons feed. This resource lists all the seasons for which we have data.
For example: To ensure data availability for future seasons, such as a schedule in advance of when a season begins, first check the Seasons feed to verify that data for that specific season is already provided.
Starting with this feed can prevent unnecessary errors and streamline your data retrieval process.
Starting Year for Each Season
It's important to note that the
seasonparameter uses the starting year of the season; for example, to retrieve data for the 2024-25 NBA season, you would use2024as the value for the season parameter.
Play-In Tournament
Each NBA season will feature a play-in tournament to determine the 7th and 8th seeds for each conference’s playoff bracket.
In the NBA API, these games will be found in the Play-in Tournament (PIT) season schedule:
https://api.sportradar.com/nba/production/v8/en/games/2023/PIT/schedule.xml?api=
The season parameter of PIT must also be used to retrieve seasonal statistics for these games.
At the conclusion of the regular season but prior to the first round of the playoffs, the team with the 7th-highest winning percentage in each conference will host the team with the 8th-highest winning percentage in a Play-In Game (the “Seven-Eight Game”). The winner of the Seven-Eight Game in each conference will earn the No. 7 seed.
-
In the below example, the Miami Heat would host the Charlotte Hornets in the Seven-Eight Game. The winner of that game would be the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs and would play the 2nd seed in the first round.
<team id="583ecea6-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c" name="Heat" market="Miami" sr_id="sr:team:3435" reference="1610612748">
<rank conference="7" division="2"/>
<team id="583ec97e-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c" name="Hornets" market="Charlotte" sr_id="sr:team:3430" reference="1610612766">
<rank conference="8" division="3"/>
-
Additionally, the team with the 9th-highest winning percentage in each conference will host the team with the 10th-highest winning percentage in the “Nine-Ten Game”.
<team id="583ec7cd-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c" name="Pacers" market="Indiana" sr_id="sr:team:3419" reference="1610612754">
<rank conference="9" division="2"/>
<team id="583ec8d4-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c" name="Wizards" market="Washington" sr_id="sr:team:3431" reference="1610612764">
<rank conference="10" division="4"/>
-
In this example, the Indiana Pacers would host the Washington Wizards in the “Nine-Ten Game.” The loser of that game would be eliminated from playoff contention. The winner would play the loser of the Heat/Hornets game (Seven-Eight Game). The winner of that game would earn the 8th seed and play the 1st seed in the first round of the playoffs.
While all playoff series will appear in the postseason series schedule feed at the completion of the regular season, the final playoff matchups will not be determined until the play-in tournament is complete.

Team TBD:
If you see a Team TBD, this indicates that the specific teams participating in the matchups are not yet decided. These placeholders will be replaced with the actual team names once the regular season concludes and playoff berths are finalized.
Tip - Start Building Your Bracket
You can use this information to start constructing a playoff bracket in your application. By querying the series scheduling, you can populate the bracket with the correct matchups, scheduling details, and eventually, the actual team names as they become available. The home and away attributes for each game will be updated with the relevant teams, allowing you to dynamically update the bracket as the tournament progresses.
The following is a completed bracket for the 2023 NBA Playoffs which can be populated using the data from the Series Schedule feed:
Serries Schedule - Recommended Pull Frequency:
- Schedule info is updated in realtime as changes are made. The initial playoff schedule (with TBD matchups) will be available shortly after the regular season schedule is released.
- Teams will advance to the next round on a 2-minute timer after the previous game moves to
completestatus
- Teams will advance to the next round on a 2-minute timer after the previous game moves to
- Pull every hour or less depending on your use case.
Note: This feed should be used for schedule info prior to a game start. For the status of a live game, reference a game-endpoint. - The TTL/Cache is 10 seconds.
3. Track Series Statistics
Along with tracking live games in each matchup, you can use the Series Statistics feed to pull team and player statistics from the playoffs.
Pulling this feed:
- Use the Playoff Schedule feed from step 2 to determine the
series_idandteam_idyou want to use. - Call the Series Statistics endpoint.

In-Season Tournament
The NBA In-Season Tournament is a mid-season competition where teams compete in a series of group-stage and knockout games, with the goal of winning the tournament's championship and a special prize.
In group play, all 30 teams are randomly drawn into groups of five (six groups overall) within their conference based on their previous season’s win-loss record. Each team will play four designated group play games against each opponent in its group, with two games at home and two on the road.
Eight teams advance to the knockout rounds: the six teams with the best standing in their group and two wild card teams (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).
All 67 In-Season Tournament games count towards the regular season standings except for the In-Season Tournament Championship game. Each team will continue to play 82 regular season games.
