Twelve teams (top 6 per conference) will compete, up from 8 the last 3 seasons. Teams will be seeded one through six in each conference, with the two highest seeds earning a bye to the conference semifinals.

The conference semifinal winners will play against each other in the Conference Championship, which will serve as the overall semifinals for the playoff. The winners of the Eastern and Western Conference Championship will play for the championship.
