The Winnipeg Sea Bears progressed through the CEBL playoffs to secure their first league championship. The team initially advanced to the Western Conference Final after defeating the Saskatoon Mamba 99-88 in the semifinals, led by Jelani Watson-Gayle and Xavier Moon.

In the championship round, the Sea Bears defeated the Brampton Honey Badgers 98-84. The title was decided via a single-game winner-take-all format after a scheduled three-game series was disrupted when the first game was cancelled due to condensation on the court. Despite the absence of star forward Teddy Allen, Xavier Moon recorded 29 points to lead Winnipeg to the title.
