The Oberliga Nord The season enters its decisive phase on Sunday, February 1, 2026. In the north, the intermediate round replaces the pre-playoff round. The preliminary schedule provides an initial overview of the upcoming matches for the eleven participating teams.
Qualification criteria & game mode
The intermediate round will be played in two groups. Group 1 will consist of the five highest-ranked teams from the regular season, while Group 2 will consist of the six lowest-ranked teams. All points earned up to that point will carry over to the intermediate round. The top five teams will then compete for home-court advantage in the playoffs. The remaining six teams will compete for the final three playoff spots. Matches will be played over ten match days, taking place in February and early March 2026. In Group 1, one team will have a bye each match day.
