Barça was the defending champion, but was eliminated in the semifinals after a 0–3 sweep by Real Madrid in a rematch of last year's finals, with Los Blancos winning a record-extending 37th title (15th in the ACB era) after another sweep against UCAM Murcia in the finals series.

At the end of the regular season, the eight teams with the most wins qualify for the playoffs. The seedings are based on each team's record.[3]

The bracket is fixed; there is no reseeding. The quarterfinals are best-of-three series; the team that wins two games advances to the next round. This round is in a 1–1–1 format. From the semifinals onward, the rounds are best-of-five series; the team that wins three games advances to the next round. These rounds, including the Finals, are in a 2–2–1 format. Home court advantage in any round belong to the higher-seeded team.[2][3]

On March 24, 2024, Real Madrid became the first team to clinch a playoff spot.[4]
