Both the EABL and WEABL head into the playoffs on Wednesday with classification games also on offer for teams who finished outside the top four.
Myerscough and Barking Abbey go into the EABL Elite Eights as North and South No.1 seeds respectively, with Manchester Mystics and Copleston holding the same status in the WEABL.
We take a look at the action below.
Conference winners Myerscough College and Barking Abbey both go into the post-season with high hopes after regular season success.
Myerscough will be looking to plot a route back to the final for the first time since 2022/23, and that journey starts with a home tie against South #4 seed JMA Reading Rockets.
2022/23 also marks the last time Barking made the trip to Manchester's NBPC, winning an EABL-record fifth title that year. They'll open their post-season with a home tilt against North #4 seeds Derby Trailblazers.
Last year's beaten finalists City of London Academy - Southwark will be hoping they can go one better this time round and face off against North #3 outfit Manchester Magic, a dangerous opponent after challenging for the North title right up to their final game defeat by Charnwood.
That just leaves North runners up and defending playoff champs Charnwood College Riders to continue their title defence at home to South #3 seed Itchen College, who will be eager for a victory that would push them into the Final Fours for the first time since 2018/19.
In a bid to increase the number of games played by all Academy sides, the teams finishing outside the playoff positions will play each other in the post-season to create a full 1-12 classification across the EABL.
Fifth place finishers in the North, BMet City of Birmingham Rockets, will play host to the South's bottom side, Copleston High School, whilst fifth in the South, Oaklands Wolves, will entertain SGS College.
The winners and losers from those two games will then play each other next week.
Myerscough College (#1) v JMA Reading Rockets (#4)
Barking Abbey (#1) v Derby Trailblazers (#4)
City of London Academy - Southwark (#2) v Manchester Magic, (#3)
Charnwood College Riders (#2) v Itchen College (#3)
BMet City of Birmingham Rockets (#5) v Copleston High School (#6)
Oaklands Wolves (#5) v SGS College (#6)
Semi-Finals - 12/03/2025
EABL Final - 26/03/2025
Copleston High School and Manchester Mystics will be the teams to watch as the two #1 seeds head into the post-season.
Copleston will play a North conference opponent, #4 seeds The Sheffield College, for the first time in a while after going through last season's playoffs only playing South Conference sides.
Manchester can sit back and wait in the North West for South #4 outfit Oaklands Wolves to make a trip up the country. The Wolves have a tough road contest on the cards if they're to make it to their fourth straight Final Fours.
City of London Academy - Southwark may not have claimed the South Conference but they'll be a side no team wants to meet in the playoffs. North #3 seeds Charnwood College Riders have drawn the short straw in that regard, with the Riders providing the first test for CoLA as they look to add to their WEABL-record five playoff titles.
In the other half of the draw, North #2 side Nottingham Academy Wildcats will be looking to recapture the form that saw them make it all the way to the final in 2021/22.
They'll have to beat South #3 side and 2017/18 winners Barking Abbey to make that a reality though.
As is the case in the EABL, the teams finishing outside the playoff positions will play each other in the post-season to create a full 1-12 classification across the WEABL.
Fifth place finishers in the North, Milton Keynes 5 Dimensions Breakers Academy, will get another shot at picking up a WEABL win as they host the South's bottom side, JMA Reading Rockets.
With no sixth team in the North for South fifth place finishers Itchen College to face, they'll take a bye in the opening round and progress automatically to face the winner between JMA and MK5D.
Manchester Mystics (#1) v Oaklands Wolves (#4)
Copleston High School (#1) v The Sheffield College (#4)
City of London Academy - Southwark (#2) v Charnwood College Riders (#3)
