The last game of the season was on Saturday and it was quite close in the first half.  Landes was not only fighting for the championship, but also for continental options next season and they built a lead to start the second half.  Lattes Montpellier made a surge in the fourth quarter behind Napheesa Collier, but fell short 72-64.

In the emergency format used due to the pandemic delaying games all season long, the semifinals were played in a single site on Thursday.  Landes took an early lead against Lyon in the latest battle of the Plouffe sisters and held their nerve after the favorites had a strong start to the second half for a 77-73 win.  Bourges is hosting the final weekend as the top seed and their game was excellent with Myisha Hines-Allen and Lattes Montpellier trying to pull off the upset and completing it in dramatic fashion right at the end 74-73.

Tarbes was ultimately not able to play so Bourges advanced directly and the other three series concluded on Saturday.  Roche overturned the deficit they had from their home game by halftime, but Landes recovered and a 77-72 win was enough to push the final margin to 162-154 in their favor.  Lattes Montpellier got key players back and it proved to be a big difference as a strong second half got them a 67-54 win over Villeneuve for a 150-131 aggregate victory.  Lyon cranked up the tempo on Jaime Nared and shorthanded Charleville again, rolling to a 117-61 win for an impressive 238-154 final total.

The two-legged quarterfinals were supposed to start on Tuesday, but Tarbes had too many virus cases to safely field a team so Bourges was awarded the first game and the other three series played.  A wild game saw shorthanded Charleville put up a fight behind Jaime Nared and Sasa Cado, but Helena Ciak and Lyon won 121-93 as their depth helped them control the second half.  Lattes Montpellier was missing key players, but carry home an 83-77 lead after a win over Haley Peters and Villeneuve.  The last game of the day ended up being the closest, but Valeriane Vukosavljevic and Landes are bringing home a lead after a 85-82 win over Ornella Bankole and Roche.

Charleville ended up with a busy schedule needing to make up games and, on Wednesday, they visited Lyon to finish Round 17 as the hosts had a fantastic start and then had to hold on to a 66-58 win.  The remaining games were played on Tuesday.  Lattes Montpellier edged Landerneau 54-48 to finish Round 20.  The last game of the regular season was from Round 22 and Jaime Nared and Evelyn Akhator teamed up to fire Charleville past Hainaut 93-70.
