    Three teams in the ABL qualified for a two-round postseason. The highest placed team at the end of the 2013-14 regular season, the Perth Heat gained entry to and hosted the Championship Series. The second and third place teams at the end of the 2013-14 regular season, the Sydney Blue Sox and the Canberra Cavalry, respectively, played a preliminary final series to determine the Perth Heat's opponent in the Championship Series.[2] The Blue Sox fell to the Cavalry 1 game to 2, thus ending the Blue Sox's postseason run and advancing the Cavalry to the Championship Series.
