San Antonio Spurs vs. New York Knicks – the 2026 NBA Finals lineup is set! But when does the season’s final series take place? Find the answer here.
As usual, the NBA Finals will be played in a best-of-seven format. Simply put: The first team to win four games is the new NBA Champion. The Western Conference winner will face off against the Eastern Conference winner. Home-court advantage goes to the team that won more games during the regular season.
In this case, that’s definitely the winner of the series between OKC and San Antonio, so the New York Knicks will have to start on the road.
