IPL Points Table FAQ
How does IPL 2026 qualification work?

How are IPL points calculated?
Teams earn 2 points for a win, 1 point each for a no-result, and 0 for a loss. If teams are tied on points, Net Run Rate (NRR) decides the ranking.
What is Net Run Rate (NRR) in IPL?
NRR = (runs scored per over) minus (runs conceded per over) across all matches. A positive NRR means you score faster than opponents. It is the primary tiebreaker when teams have equal points. Calculate your team's NRR with our free Net Run Rate Calculator.
How many points do you need to qualify for IPL playoffs?
Historically, 16 points (8 wins from 14) has been the safe qualification threshold. Teams with 14 points have qualified with strong NRR. Teams with 12 points have never qualified.
Who won IPL 2026?
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won IPL 2026, beating Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets in the final on 31 May. RCB also won in 2025, beating Punjab Kings in that final.
