2023 NBL Finals
The 2023 NBL Finals will be the postseason tournament of the National Basketball League's 2022–23 season. Format 
The finals will be played in February and March 2023 between the top six teams of the regular season, consisting of three play-in games, two best-of-three semifinal series and the best-of-five Grand Final series, where the higher seed hosts the first, third and fifth games. The top two seeds in the regular season will automatically qualify to the semifinals. Teams ranked three to six will compete in the play-in tournament. The third seed will play the fourth seed for third spot and the loser will play the winner of fifth or sixth for the fourth seed. This will be the first season the league will introduce play-in games. Qualification
