Playoffs
This guide walks 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 endpoints:
- 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.
- Use the Series Schedule endpoint to access game-centric endpoints, which update live scores and stats for all playoff games. If needed, reference the Series Statistics endpoint for 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 includes a play-in tournament to determine the 7th and 8th seeds for each conference’s playoff bracket. These games are found in the Play-in Tournament (PIT) season schedule:
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”.
-
In the below 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.
<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"/>
While all playoff series appear in the postseason Series Schedule endpoint at the completion of the regular season, the final playoff matchups are not determined until the play-in tournament is complete. See the Building Your Bracket section below for further info.

As playoff matchups are determined — and the play-in games are completed — the TBD placeholders are replaced with the actual team names and ids. All schedule info is updated in realtime as changes are made.
Tip - Start Building Your Bracket
Use this schedule info to start constructing a playoff bracket. By querying the Series Schedule, you can populate the bracket with matchups, scheduling details, and eventually, the teams as they become available.

3. In Progress Playoff Data
Schedule
Continue to retrieve the Series Schedule endpoint for updates to the playoff bracket as games are played. Teams advance to the next round on a 2-minute timer after the final game of a series moves to complete status.
Game Data
All game-centric feeds feature the same structure, coverage level, and update process as a regular season game. Use the unique game id from the Series Schedule endpoint to retrieve the game data. Game feeds are: Game Boxscore, Game Play-by-Play, Game Summary, Push Clock, Push Events, and Push Statistics.
See our Standard Game Workflow page for additional detail.
Series Data
Along with tracking live games, you can use the Series Statistics endpoint to pull team and player statistics for each playoff series. Here are some update frequencies to keep in mind for this endpoint:
- Series Statistics updates on a 5-minute timer after a game is moved to
closed - To receive the fastest updates, call the endpoint 5 to 10 minutes after a game is moved to
closed. Otherwise, utilize this feed on an as needed basis.
This endpoint requires a series_id and team_id, located in the Series Schedule endpoint. Request this endpoint for each series and its teams to retrieve all playoff series stats.

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 prize money.
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 plays 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 plays 82 regular season games.
