IPL 2026 Points Table
The points table of IPL 2026 will be updated after every match to show the latest team positions. It plays an important role in deciding which teams make it to the playoffs and how the net run rate (NRR) affects close contests.
Each win gives a team 2 points, while a no-result match gives 1 point. Teams that lose get no points. If two teams have the same points, the NRR decides their ranking. That’s why every run and every ball is so important.
