IPL Points Table: All 10 Teams (Last Completed Season, IPL 2026)

Because the 2027 season has not started yet, the last completed standings are from IPL 2026. This is the baseline every team carries into 2027:

• 1. Royal Challengers Bengaluru — 18 points, NRR +0.783 — Champions. Finished first, won Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans by 92 runs, then beat Gujarat Titans in the final by 5 wickets.
• 2. Gujarat Titans — 18 points, NRR +0.695 — Runners-up. Finished second, lost Qualifier 1 to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, beat Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 by 7 wickets, then lost the final by 5 wickets.
• 3. Sunrisers Hyderabad — 18 points, NRR +0.524 — Eliminator exit. Finished third, then lost the Eliminator to Rajasthan Royals by 47 runs.
• 4. Rajasthan Royals — 16 points, NRR +0.189 — Qualifier 2 exit. Finished fourth, beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Eliminator by 47 runs, then lost Qualifier 2 to Gujarat Titans by 7 wickets.
• 5. Punjab Kings — 15 points, NRR +0.309 (1 no-result) — Missed playoffs. Finished fifth, one point short of the playoff cut.
• 6. Delhi Capitals — 14 points, NRR -0.651 — Missed playoffs. Finished sixth, missing the playoffs for a fifth straight year.
• 7. Kolkata Knight Riders — 13 points, NRR -0.147 (1 no-result) — Missed playoffs. Finished seventh.
• 8. Chennai Super Kings — 12 points, NRR -0.345 — Missed playoffs. Finished eighth with 6 wins.
• 9. Mumbai Indians — 8 points, NRR -0.584 — Missed playoffs. Finished ninth with 4 wins.
• 10. Lucknow Super Giants — 8 points, NRR -0.740 — Missed playoffs. Finished tenth and last with 4 wins.

The 2026 cut-off tells the story of the playoff race: 16 points was enough to qualify, 15 points was not. That is why every early-season win matters — one extra victory is often the difference between fourth place and fifth.

How the IPL Points Table Works

Points: Each team plays 14 league matches. A win gives 2 points, a no-result gives 1 point to each side, and a loss gives 0. The maximum is 28 points.

Net run rate (NRR): When teams finish level on points, NRR decides the order. NRR is the average runs scored per over minus the average runs conceded per over across the season. That is why a big win can matter as much as a win itself: in 2026, three teams finished on 18 points, and NRR put Royal Challengers Bengaluru first (+0.783), Gujarat Titans second (+0.695) and Sunrisers Hyderabad third (+0.524).

Playoff qualification: The top 4 teams qualify. First plays second in Qualifier 1, with the winner going straight to the final. Third plays fourth in the Eliminator, with the loser going out. The Eliminator winner plays the Qualifier 1 loser in Qualifier 2 for the second final spot.

How many points are enough? In 2026, 16 points qualified and 15 did not. As a rule of thumb, 16 points usually books a playoff place, 18 points almost always books a top-two finish, and 14 points rarely survives.

IPL 2027 Outlook: What Each Tier Needs

The champions’ defence: Royal Challengers Bengaluru start 2027 as defending champions after back-to-back titles in 2025 and 2026. Staying on top of the table is the hardest part of a title defence, and every team will target them.

The challengers: Gujarat Titans have reached 3 finals in 5 seasons and only need one more step, while Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive batting makes them a threat to finish first if their bowling holds up.

The playoff chasers: Rajasthan Royals (16 points in 2026) and Punjab Kings (15 points) were separated by a single point. One extra win in 2027 flips their positions.

The rebuilds: Delhi Capitals (new head coach Sourav Ganguly), Kolkata Knight Riders (seventh in 2026) and Chennai Super Kings (eighth in 2026) all need to climb back into the top 4, while Mumbai Indians (ninth) and Lucknow Super Giants (tenth, new captain Aiden Markram) need the biggest turnarounds of all.
