The NBA Cup Semifinals will be played at the home arena of the higher-seeded team in each conference, beginning with the 2026-27 NBA season.

Under existing rules that will continue through the 2025-26 NBA season, the NBA Cup Semifinals and Championship are played at a neutral site (T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the upcoming season).  

Starting with the NBA Cup during the 2026-27 NBA season, the Championship will be the only game played at a neutral site as the league scales back its previous “Final Four” style concept.
