Latest News About Ipl Points Table 2026

Here’s the latest IPL 2026 points table as of mid-May 2026 based on recent match results and standings updates.

Direct answer

• As of around May 16–17, 2026, the top of the table was led by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) both on 16 points, with RCB leading on head-to-head or net run rate, followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on 14 points, and Punjab Kings (PBKS) on 13 points. The remaining positions include Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, and Lucknow Super Giants in the lower-to-middle portion of the table, with varying points totals and NRR. Please note that exact positions can shift with each completed match day, so for the absolute latest you should check a live source such as the official IPL site or a major sports news outlet.

Key notes about how the table is structured

• Points: 2 points for a win, 0 for a loss, 1 each for a no-result/abandoned match; tied matches can be resolved by super over in some cases, which still awards 2 points to the winner.
• Net Run Rate (NRR): Used as a tiebreaker when teams have equal points.
• The IPL season runs through May, with the playoff spots determined by points and NRR, so the standings can change rapidly in the final weeks.

Where to verify live updates

• IPL official website (points table page) for real-time standings and NRR.
• Reputable sports outlets like ESPNcricinfo, Cricbuzz, or Times of India sports sections typically publish updated table after each match.
• You can also check the latest updates on the IPL’s YouTube channel or their official social media handles for quick snapshots.
