High school basketball playoff start dates in every state, updated 2024 brackets

Postseason start dates across the country in boys and girls basketball, plus brackets where available

More states tipped off their high school basketball postseason last week, including Washington and Georgia.

Playoff high school basketball is well underway in several states, such as California and Florida, but many are still waiting to tip off the postseason.

State champions have already been crowned in Idaho girls basketball, while the boys started their postseason last week.
