Where can I see a standings race and the playoffs that followed it?

Here. Every postseason on this site is drawn on the same page as the race that produced it, on one scale: the season chart runs to the last day, and then each playoff game carries the line one step further. There are 473 of them, going back to the 1903 World Series, and each one lives at /<league>/<season>/playoffs/. The 2026 MLB playoffs, the 2025 MLB playoffs and the 2023 NFL playoffs are three of them.

Most places give you a standings table or a bracket. The thing that is hard to find is both at once, in a form where the September that made the field and the October that emptied it are the same picture.

Three ways to read one postseason

Each answers a question the others cannot, and a page holds all three, stacked down it in this order. Nothing is hidden behind a button.

• The race, continued. The season chart with the postseason on the end. A club's playoff line starts exactly where its regular season line finished, so the two halves share one axis, and each playoff game moves it one step: up for a win, down for a loss. This is the chart for "what did the run look like from where they started". A toggle over it draws either the champion and the three best records or every club that played this league's regular season, so a field of twelve or sixteen can be compared against each other and against the clubs that missed.
• Seeds against finish. Two columns. The left ranks the field by regular season record, the right groups clubs by the round they went out in, and the lines between them cross wherever a season and a postseason disagreed. This is the chart for "who beat their seeding".
• The bracket. Derived from the results rather than drawn by hand: each club in a series came from the series it played the round before, or from a bye.

Every series is also written out

Under the charts, each page lists every series of that postseason as text: the round, the clubs, the result and the dates. A result is quoted in the unit the round was actually decided in, wins in games for a series, the match score for a single game, the aggregate over two legs, and the shootout beside the draw where there was one. Nothing on those pages needs the chart to be read, and nothing needs JavaScript.

Which leagues, and how far back

Nine leagues have a postseason charted here. The Premier League has none, because it does not play one, and an invented bracket is exactly what these pages exist not to be.

• MLB, 121 postseasons from 1903
• NHL, 108 from 1917-18
• NBA, 80 from 1946-47
• NFL, 56 from 1970
• EFL Championship, 34 play-offs from 1992-93
• MLS, 30 from 1996
• WNBA, 30 from 1997
• NWSL, 10 from 2015
• PWHL, 3 from 2024

Each league's front page links its most recent bracket, and from there the previous and next links walk every postseason that league has played. A season page links its own bracket too.

Nothing here is a prediction

There is no model anywhere on this site. Every line is the record as it stood at the end of a day that was actually played, and every bracket is the one that happened. A postseason still being played is charted as far as it has got and no further. Where a season was stopped before it finished, the pages say so rather than filling the gap.

How it is drawn, in full

The method behind all three charts, including what the seeding column does and does not measure and the one caution about the hockey and soccer scales, is published on the data notes page, and a short form of it sits under each chart on every playoffs page. Where a postseason's results come from is named on the page itself, and it is the same feed as that league's season above it.
