Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 is finally underway, and fans across the US are glued to the MLC 2026 points table to track how their favorite franchises are stacking up.
With six teams battling it out in a double round-robin format, every match swings the standings, and the Net Run Rate (NRR) column can be just as dramatic as the scoreboard.
Here’s a complete fan’s guide to the current table and what it all means.
Major League Cricket 2026 Points Table (Latest Update)
The points table for Major League Cricket 2026 reflects the battle for playoff spots as teams compete for crucial points. Follow the latest standings, NRR changes, and qualification scenarios throughout the season.
| Pos | Team | P | W | L | NR | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Texas Super Kings (TSK) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | +0.946 |
| 2 | Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 3 | MI New York (MINY) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 4 | San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 5 | Washington Freedom (WAF) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| 6 | Seattle Orcas (SOR) | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | -0.946 |
How the MLC 2026 Points System Works
For fans new to franchise cricket, here’s a quick breakdown of how teams climb the table:
- Win = 2 points
- No Result / Abandoned match = 1 point each
- Loss = 0 points
- NRR (Net Run Rate) is the first tiebreaker when teams are level on points
A strong NRR can be the difference between a top-four playoff spot and an early exit, just like in MLC 2025, when two teams finished level on points and were separated purely by run rate.
Early Takeaways from the Standings
- Texas Super Kings (TSK) kicked off their campaign in style, opening with a win over Seattle Orcas and grabbing a healthy +0.946 NRR straight away — a strong statement on Day 1.
- Seattle Orcas (SOR) suffered the opposite fate, dropping to the bottom of the table with a matching -0.946 NRR after their opening defeat.
- Los Angeles Knight Riders, MI New York, San Francisco Unicorns, and Washington Freedom are yet to begin their campaigns, sitting level on zero points as the table fills in over the coming weeks.
What Fans Should Watch For
- Playoff race: The top 4 teams advance to the playoffs, so every win and loss in the round-robin stage matters.
- Qualifier vs Eliminator: Teams finishing 1st and 2nd go straight to the Qualifier, while 3rd and 4th must win the Eliminator to stay alive.
- NRR battles: With six closely matched, IPL-backed franchises, expect tight finishes — boosting your NRR with big wins could be just as important as simply winning.
- Defending champions watch: MI New York lifted the trophy in 2025 despite finishing 4th in the league stage, proving the points table is only half the story once playoffs begin.
Final Word
The Major League Cricket 2026 points table is still in its early days, but the season promises plenty of twists across 30 league matches and four playoff fixtures, culminating in the Final at Oakland Coliseum on July 18.
