2026 NBA Playoffs Bracket & Championship Odds

2026 NBA Playoffs bracket with live series scores, game-by-game results, and championship probability odds. Updated daily via Monte Carlo simulations.

How the bracket works

Sixteen teams qualify for the NBA Playoffs: seeds 1-6 in each conference advance directly, while seeds 7-10 compete in the Play-In Tournament for the final two spots per conference. Every round is a best-of-seven series.

The four rounds are the First Round, Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals.

How championship odds are calculated

Championship probability comes from 100,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the remaining regular-season schedule and, once the field is set, the bracket itself — using each team's Elo-style strength rating and home-court advantage.
