Each round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs will be a best-of-seven series (2-2-1-1-1 format) with the first team to win four games advancing to the next round. In the best of seven series, there are four possible home games in the first round that will be designated as Games A-D. Games A and B will be the first two games of Round 1. Due to the nature of the playoffs, ticket onsale information will be determined based on how each round unfolds. If game C/D is not played, ticketholders will be refunded for their purchase. Tickets will be distributed through SeatGeek, the Cavs Official Ticketing Partner.

The Cavs have sold out 184 consecutive games at Rocket Arena, a record that dates back to the end of the 2021-22 season. Fans are encouraged to act quickly as access to Cavs 2026 Playoff tickets is expected to be limited.
