WPL 2026 Points Table: RCB, MI rankings; playoffs qualification scenarios
2024 WPL champions RCB are still the only team to have already booked their place in the WPL 2026 playoffs
The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 is now heading towards its playoff stage, with 18 matches in the group stages all done and dusted. However, despite just three matches left to play, only one team has been able to confirm its place in the playoffs — table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who with twelve points to their name after eight matches have also made it to the WPL final this year..
Gujarat Giants, with a thrilling three-run win over Delhi Capitals on Tuesday, have jumped to the number two spot on the points table with eight points from seven matches. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are the next two teams on the list, with six points each from seven matches, and will have a tough tussle for a playoff spot between them.
UP Warriorz (UPW), with just four points, have the lowest chance of making it to the next stage, but they can still make their way through if they manage to win their next two games by big margins.

WPL 2026: Playoff qualification scenario
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)
2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) became the first team to book their place in the playoffs and are now one of the finalists this year after their win vs UPW.
Gujarat Giants (GG)
Gujarat Giants started the season with two back-to-back wins, followed by three straight losses. However, they are now back on track with two straight wins and are leading the charge in the race for the last two playoff spots for WPL 2026. They just need to win their last match or have to hope Delhi Capitals and UP Warriorz lose their last matches.
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Defending champions Mumbai Indians, with six points from seven matches, have boosted their playoff chances with a win over RCB on Monday, propelling them to the number two spot on the points table. However, even winning their last match will not confirm their place in the playoffs right away, as they need other match results to go in their favour as well.
Delhi Capitals (DC)
After losing three of their first four games, Jemimah Rodrigues-led Delhi Capitals made a strong comeback in the playoff race with back-to-back wins against MI and RCB. However, the loss against Gujarat Giants on Tuesday has once again put them in a pickle. They now have to not just win their last match but also hope that any two of the three other unqualified teams lose one more match.
UP Warriorz (UPW)
Meg Lanning-led UP Warriorz, with just two wins this season, are struggling at the bottom of the points table. However, they still have a chance to book their place in the playoffs, provided RCB win their remaining matches and either Gujarat Giants or Delhi Capitals also win their remaining matches against the other teams, except RCB.
