Playoffs and Tournaments
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 WNBA playoffs are a postseason tournament where the top eight teams, regardless of conference, compete in a bracket format. The First Round consists of best-of-three series, with higher seeds hosting Games 1 and 2. The Semifinals and WNBA Finals are played as best-of-five series, with the higher seed hosting Games 1, 2, and 5. Teams must win the majority of games in each round to advance, and the playoffs continue until one team is crowned the WNBA champion.
You can access playoff data using these feeds:
- 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.
Building Your Playoff Bracket
1. Pull the Playoff Schedule
Using the tournament id, pull the Series Schedule endpoint to get game details for each matchup in the WNBA Playoffs. Ensure that your season_type is PSTin your call.
The following JSON structure outlines the First Round WNBA Playoff matchup between the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever during the 2024 postseason. This was a best-of-three series, with the Sun winning 2–0 to advance. The series began with two games hosted at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, as the higher-seeded Sun (No. 3) had home-court advantage. If necessary, a third game would have taken place in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

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 2024 WNBA 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.
2. 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.

Commissioner's Cup
The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup is an in-season competition that runs concurrently with the regular season, designed to elevate competitive play and add excitement through a designated series of games that lead to a championship and cash prize.
At the start of the season, each team designates 10 of its regular season games—five home and five away—as Commissioner’s Cup games. These matchups are pre-selected based on conference rivals and count toward a special Cup standings table, separate from the overall league standings.
At the conclusion of Cup play, the top team from the Eastern Conference and the top team from the Western Conference in Cup standings qualify for the Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game. This single-game final determines the Cup winner.
While all Cup games are also regular season games, the Commissioner’s Cup Championship game is an extra 41st game for the two participating teams and does not count toward the regular season standings.

A season type was created in the WNBA API for the WNBA In-Season Tournament called Commissioner's Cup with code (also referred to as parameter) of CC. This season type can be retrieved via the WNBA Seasons feed:
