IPL 2026 Points Table Today: The IPL 2026 season is in full swing, and the race for playoff spots is heating up. On April 8, Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians to move to the No. 1 spot on the points table.
The IPL 2026 system is simple: teams earn two points for a win. If a match ends without a result or is tied, each team gets one point. In case of a tie, a Super Over decides the winner.
If teams finish with the same points, rankings are based on the number of wins. The next factor is Net Run Rate (NRR), if wins are tied. The team with more wickets gets the edge, if NRR is also the same. If all factors are tied, lots are drawn to decide the ranking.
The tournament runs from March 28 to May 31, 2026, with 74 matches. Each team plays 14 matches in the league stage, 7 at home and 7 away. Matches are held at 12 venues across India, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Delhi. All matches are on Star Sports and can be streamed live on JioCinema.
This guide will be updated daily, as the league stage progresses toward the playoffs.
