which teams are in the playoffs

Right now, there isn’t enough context to say which teams are in the playoffs because that depends on the sport (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.) and the specific season or year you care about.

Need a bit more detail

To give a precise, up‑to‑date list, it would help to know:

  • Which league or sport you mean (for example: NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, college football).
  • Which season or year (for example: 2025–26, “this season,” or “last year”).
  • Whether you want:
    • Teams already clinched a spot
    • The full playoff bracket
    • Or the “if the season ended today” projected playoff picture.

How playoff teams are usually decided

  • Most major U.S. leagues split teams into conferences/divisions, then take the top records plus a few “wild card” spots for the postseason.
  • Several leagues now use play‑in or wildcard rounds where fringe teams fight for the last few seeds (for example, 7th–10th seeds battling for 7th and 8th spots).

What you can reply with

If you answer with something like:

“NFL, this current season”
or
“NBA, 2025–26, who’s in the bracket right now?”

then a clear, team‑by‑team playoff list (and even a mini bracket in table form) can be laid out for you.
