As happened with other leagues, the LNBP season was atypical due to the pandemic, so in the face of the threat of an outbreak in Mexico, the authorities decided to put an end to it and move on to the Playoffs immediately.

Through a statement issued by the LNBP General Commissioner, it was announced that the LNBP regular season came to an end with a couple of rounds to go and the guests for the Playoffs having been defined.

The teams qualified for the Postseason are:
- West Zone: Soles, Aguacateros, Libertadores and Astros
