MPL 2026 Points System Explained
| Result | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 |
| Loss | 0 |
| Tie (Super Over) | 2 (winner) / 0 (loser) |
| No Result / Abandoned | 1 each |
When teams finish level on points, Net Run Rate (NRR) serves as the primary tiebreaker. Winning by big margins matters, teams that scrape through narrow victories risk falling behind on NRR when the table tightens.
