Welcome to the NBA: Summer Series Playoff Index page!

On this page, our goal is to keep track of the postseasons contested during the NBA Summer Series. To offer a quick summary, the Summer Series is a summer league, run entirely by Tamir Moore (TamirMoore.com), that provides NBA players with an opportunity to compete each summer for the Summer Series edition of the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

A postseason has been held every season since the Summer Series was launched way back in 1977! As of 2026, we are entering our historic 50th season of play!

Below is a yearly summary of the Summer Series postseason competition (1977-present). Links will also be provided when appropriate.

Happy reading!
