The regular season will come to an end on September 11 with the Los Angeles Sparks’ home game against the Las Vegas Aces. The WNBA postseason tips off on September 14<\/a>, and is scheduled to come to an end on October 19. <\/p>

What is the Format for the 2025 WNBA Playoffs? <\/h2>

According to the WNBA, the top eight of the 13 teams qualify for the postseason. Each team’s record in the regular season will decide its seeding. Talking about the format, the bracket-style postseason will have three rounds of series- the First Round, the Semifinals, and the Finals. The opening round will be 1-1-1 format, with the higher seed getting home advantage to Game 1 and Game 3, if needed. <\/p>

The Semifinals pan out in the best-of-five format, 2-2-1, where the higher seed hosts Games 1, 2 and 5. What makes the upcoming playoffs different is the format of the 2025 WNBA Finals. This season, the Finals will expand to a best-of-seven series<\/a> and roll out in the 2-2-1-1-1 structure. It means that the higher seed will host games 1, 2, 5 and 7. <\/p>
