The 2026 NBA playoff bracket will be set on Sunday night. Half of the postseason's 20 seeds will be decided on Sunday as all 30 teams play their final regular-season games. We know 11 of the 12 teams who are guaranteed top-six playoff seeds, and we know six of the eight teams heading to the Play-In Tournament. But the finishing touches on the bracket will all be made in the coming hours.

The biggest questions on Sunday include who will get the final top-six spot in the East? It's win and in for the Raptors, while the Magic and 76ers are lurking if Toronto slips up. In the West, the biggest question is if the Nuggets can lock up the No. 3 seed and keep the Lakers at No. 4. The West's No. 3 seed would face the Wolves in the first round, while the Rockets await the No. 4 seed.

While we wait and see how the final seeds shake out, here's an up-to-date look at the 2026 NBA playoff bracket, as well as the schedule for the Play-In Tournament and key dates for the next two months.
