IPL 2026 Points Table: The IPL is in full swing right now, and there are ten teams playing: the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Chennai Super Kings, the Mumbai Indians, the Kolkata Knight Riders, the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Rajasthan Royals, the Punjab Kings, the Gujarat Titans, the Lucknow Super Giants, and the Delhi Capitals. The league is one of the most competitive T20 tournaments in the world because each team has a mix of experienced international players and promising domestic players.
The tournament is set up like the 2023 Indian Premier League, with ten teams split into two groups during the league stage. Each team plays the other teams in its own group twice and the teams in the other group once. This makes sure that all the franchises meet and puts more emphasis on group rivalries. The top four teams move on to the playoffs after the league phase is over. The top two teams play in Qualifier 1 for a direct spot in the final. The third- and fourth-placed teams play in the Eliminator, where the loser is out of the tournament. The winner of the Eliminator then plays the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2. The winner of this match gets the last spot in the final. Points earned decide the standings, and if there is a tie, the net run rate is used to break it. Punjab Kings are in first place right now with 11 points. Mumbai climb to 7th spot after this win.
