Spurs playoff standings: Updated scenarios, schedule for San Antonio in 2026 NBA bracket

Postseason basketball will soon be returning to San Antonio.

The Spurs are heading back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019 — and they didn't merely sneak into the 2026 bracket. Victor Wembayama has guided San Antonio to one of the league's best records, with the Spurs set to be a top contender to come out of the Western Conference.

The Spurs have been lurking behind the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder all season, but now, their seeding is locked in.

Here's an updated look at the Spurs' spot in the Western Conference standings, their potential playoff matchups and more.

Spurs playoff scenarios 2026

The Spurs have long clinched a playoff spot, owning their first 60-win season since 2016-17.

And now, they are locked into the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. OKC clinched the top seed, with San Antonio remaining in contention late, but unable to catch up before the end of the regular season.

Still, San Antonio will have home-court advantage for a first-round series as the No. 2 seed. With a 32-7 record at home this season, that advantage is one Wembanyama and company will certainly be content with on their path to the title.
