The 2021 P. League+ playoffs was the postseason tournament of the 2020–21 P. League+ season. The playoffs began on April 23 and was early ended on May 15 due to the Taiwanese pandemic restrictions after Game 4 of the 2021 P. League+ Finals.[1][2] The Taipei Fubon Braves, leading 3–1 in the Finals, was declared the champion after the remaining Finals games were cancelled.[3]
Format[edit]
The top three seed qualify the playoffs. The second and third seeds play the best-of-five playoffs series, which is in a 2-2-1 format. The winner advances and plays the top seed in the best-of-seven finals series, which is in a 2-2-1-1-1 format. The seeding is based on each team's regular season record. Home court advantage goes to the higher seed for both series.[1][2]
