WNBA playoff tiebreakers
The WNBA has five playoff seeding tiebreakers in place if two teams finish with the same record:
- Better record in head-to-head games
- Better winning percentage within own conference
- Better winning percentage against all teams with .500 or better record at the end of the season
- Better point differential in head-to-head games
- Coin toss
If there are more than two teams tied for the same seed, the tiebreakers are similar but have a slightly different twist:
- Better winning percentage among all head-to-head games involving tied teams
- Better winning percentage against teams within the conference (if all teams are from the same conference) or better record against teams in the opposite conference (if one or more teams are in different conferences)
- Better winning percentage against all teams with a .500 or better record at the end of the season
- Better point differential in games involving tied teams
- Coin toss
