The highest placed team at the end of the 2014-15 regular season, the Adelaide Bite gained entry to and hosted the Championship Series. The second and third place teams at the end of the 2014-15 regular season, the Perth Heat and the Sydney Blue Sox, respectively, played a Preliminary Final Series to determine the Adelaide Bite's opponent in the Championship Series.[2] The Blue Sox fell to the Heat 0-2 in the Preliminary Final Series, thus ending the Blue Sox's postseason run and advancing the Heat to the Championship Series.
