The Wildcats booked their spot after shaking off Cairns Taipans 74-66 on Monday night to cleansweep their three-game semi-final series.
The reigning champions await the winner of the Adelaide 36ers-Illawarra Hawks clash on Thursday night.
A best-of-five grand final series replaces the three-game concept used in recent seasons.
Gleeson is chasing a third NBL crown as coach, having guided Perth to the 2013-14 and 2015-16 championships.
The Wildcats needed a last-round win to scrap into this season’s playoffs and stretch their finals run to 31 consecutive seasons.
They’re hoping to add an eighth championship to their collection.
