Throughout the regular season, each team plays two games against one another, one home and one away. Once the regular season ends, the top 8 teams qualify for the playoff round. The season standings determine the opponent the team plays in the postseason. The winners of the quarter-finals and semi-finals are determined in a 7-game series with the winner advancing after winning 4 games. The final is a single game that is played in a neutral location. Since the 2015/16 season, the final has been played in Arena Riga.
