Many fans ask the same questions every year, when do the NBA Playoffs start? Mark your calendars, because the real action begins April 18th 2026, right after the exciting Play-In tournament defines the last competitors between April 14-17. With that begins a talent marathon that culminates with the start of the NBA Finals on June 3rd 2026.
