The 2024 Kelly Cup playoffs of the ECHL hockey league began on April 17, 2024, following the conclusion of the 2023–24 ECHL regular season.

Playoff format

Due to the Newfoundland Growlers ceasing operations on April 2, 2024, without playing their final six games (against the Norfolk Admirals and Trois-Rivières Lions),[1] the North Division utilized points percentage to determine its final standings, as well as potential home-ice advantage in the Eastern Conference or Kelly Cup Finals;[2] the remaining three divisions utilized a traditional points system. The top four teams in the South, Central, and Mountain divisions qualified for the playoffs based on highest point total earned in the season.

Despite tying in points percentage, the Maine Mariners qualified over the Worcester Railers due to holding the tiebreaker of a higher regulation win percentage.[3] The Kansas City Mavericks, who won the Brabham Cup as regular season champions, were the first to clinch a playoff spot with a 7–4 win over Tulsa.[4]

The first two rounds of the playoffs are held within the division with the first seed facing the fourth seed and the second seed facing the third. The division champions then play each other in a conference championship. The Kelly Cup finals pits the Eastern Conference champion against the Western Conference champion. All four rounds are a best-of-seven format. The Kansas City Mavericks, as Brabham Cup winners, are scheduled to have home ice advantage for all the rounds they advance in.[5]

Ten out of the 16 teams in this year's playoffs were participants in the previous Kelly Cup playoffs.

Playoff seeds

After the regular season, 16 teams qualified for the playoffs.
