Play-offs

The top four teams from the regular season qualify for the play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finished first plays the team which finished fourth. Rest of the two teams would face each other.

The winner of the play-offs is crowned the champion for the 2024–25 season. Both finalists secure a direct qualification to the 2025–26 Champions League league stage. The team which finished third in the regular season qualifies for the third round of the 2025–26 Champions League, unless the team which finished fourth win the play-offs.^[10]
