IPL 2026 Points Table (Updated as of January 20, 2026 – Pre-Season)
No matches played yet – all teams start at 0 points.
Points System Reminder:
- Win: 2 points
- No Result/Tied (super over not possible): 1 point each
- Loss: 0 points
Tie-Breaker: Net Run Rate (NRR) – the most important stat after points.
What is Net Run Rate (NRR) and Why It Matters
NRR measures how efficiently a team scores and defends runs. Formula: (Total runs scored / Total overs faced) – (Total runs conceded / Total overs bowled)
- Big wins (e.g., 100+ runs or 10 wickets) boost NRR massively.
- Heavy losses hurt NRR and can drop a team even if they have the same points.
- Example: A team wins by 50 runs → good NRR boost. A team loses by 8 wickets → big NRR drop.
NRR decides rankings and playoff spots when points are tied.
How Playoff Qualification Works in IPL 2026
- Top 4 teams qualify.
- 1st & 2nd: Direct entry to Qualifier 1 (winner goes to final).
- 3rd & 4th: Play Eliminator → winner faces Qualifier 1 loser in Qualifier 2.
- 5th–10th: Eliminated.
- Mid-season trends: Teams with strong NRR often sneak into top 4 even with fewer wins.
