Somehow we're here already! The final weekend of the regular season for 2023/24 has arrived, and by the end of Sunday night we'll have the eight teams taking part in the playoffs.

With no worries about qualifying or not, Belfast Giants and Sheffield Steelers begin their weekend double-header at the SSE Arena in front of what is expected to be two sell-outs - or very close to that.

The Steelers can break the 90 point mark for the season with at least a point in this game - something that no team has done since the Giants in 2018 when they played six more games. Two wins this weekend would see the Steelers equal Belfast's points total form that season.

Belfast's defeat in Cardiff last Sunday ended their hopes of finishing second, and they go into this final weekend locked into third. The biggest news of the weekend for Giants fans will be finding out who they play in the Quarter-Finals. Indeed, both teams could face any one of five others in the playoffs.
