The teams in places 1 to 8 qualify directly for the play-offs, which are played in the best-of-five mode . For the teams in places 9 to 13, the season ends after the main round. At the end of the season, in addition to the playoffs, there will be a relegation, in which the last placed team of the Extraliga and the winner of the play-off final of the 1st division take part.
