After four single-elimination games to start the 2025 playoffs, the National Lacrosse League postseason bracket is down to just four teams.
All four favorites managed to advance past the quarterfinal round and will now meet in the semifinals to determine which teams will battle for the NLL Cup.
The top-seeded Buffalo Bandits just narrowly escaped with a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Seals in the previous round and will face the No. 4 Vancouver Warriors, who are coming off a win against the Rochester Knighthawks. The No. 2 Saskatchewan Rush defeated the Georgia Swarm, 13-9, in the quarterfinals, and they will play the No. 3 Halifax Thunderbirds in the semifinals.
