The top six teams at the end of the regular season advance to the finals under this playoff system:
*The first round of the postseason sees the team that finishes in first place at the end of the regular season against the team that finishes sixth; second plays fifth, and third plays fourth.
*The three teams that win their respective best-of-three first-round series advances, and is joined in the semifinals by the highest-placed losing team from the first round.
*Teams are then seeded again for the best-of-three semifinal series. The three winning teams from the first round are seeded in order of their regular-season finishing positions, and the first-round loser automatically becomes the No. 4 seed.
*The two winning teams from the semifinals meet in a best-of-three Grand Final series to determine the champion.<!-- per https://web.archive.org/web/20010617222232/http://nbl.com.au:80/works/0,3329,,00.html -->

'''Bolded years''' indicate wins. ''Years in italics'' indicate series in progress. Tables are sorted first by the number of series, then the number of wins, and then by year of first occurrence.<ref>{{cite web|title=Finals|url=http://www.nbl.com.au/finals|work=NBL.com.au|access-date=13 November 2021|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409101422/http://www.nbl.com.au/finals|archive-date=9 April 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nbl.com.au/finals |title=Finals - the Official Website of the National Basketball League - NBL.com.au |website=www.nbl.com.au |access-date=5 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130409101422/http://www.nbl.com.au/finals |archive-date=9 April 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
