I don’t have live access to the latest schedules right now. The most reliable sources for the current start date are NBA.com’s playoff page and major outlets like ESPN or NBC Sports.
- NBA playoffs typically start in mid-to-late April, with the first round running through the end of April or early May depending on the year. NBA.com’s official page usually posts the exact start date and game times for each series.[4]
- Outlets like ESPN and NBC Sports also publish the first-round schedule soon after the play-in games conclude, listing Game 1 dates for all series.[3][5]
If you’d like, I can search for the latest published start date and provide a concise summary with the exact Game 1 date and per-series matchups.
