How does the IPL points system work?

In IPL, each win earns a team 2 points. A loss gives 0 points. A no-result or abandoned match gives both teams 1 point each. Teams are ranked by total points, with NRR as the tiebreaker.

What is Net Run Rate (NRR) in IPL?

NRR = (Total runs scored ÷ Total overs faced) − (Total runs conceded ÷ Total overs bowled). A positive NRR means a team scores faster than they concede. It is used as a tiebreaker when teams have equal points.

How many teams qualify for the IPL 2026 playoffs?

The top 4 teams from the league stage qualify for the playoffs. Teams finishing 1st and 2nd get a double chance (they play in Qualifier 1 and if they lose, get another chance in Qualifier 2). Teams finishing 3rd and 4th play the Eliminator.

When does the IPL 2026 league stage end?

The IPL 2026 league stage typically runs from late March to late May, with playoffs and the final held in June. The exact dates are confirmed by BCCI closer to the season.

What happens if two teams are level on points?

If two or more teams have equal points at the end of the league stage, Net Run Rate (NRR) is used as the tiebreaker. If NRR is also equal, head-to-head results between those teams are considered.
