- Biratnagar Kings, Kathmandu Gorkhas and Pokhara Avengers have 0 points in the checked table. [1]

What the NPL 2026 standings show
Karnali Yaks have the clearest early lead because their two completed matches are both wins, giving them 4 displayed points. Their position is a record of the checked snapshot, not a forecast of the final table or a prediction of the champion.
The next group needs to be read with matches played in view. Lumbini Lions and Chitwan Rhinos each have one win from one match and 2 points. Janakpur Bolts and Sudur Paschim Royals also have one win, but have played twice and have one loss. The table therefore compares teams with different numbers of completed opportunities. Its displayed order and source-listed NRR should be read as the current table presentation, not as a conclusion about future qualification.
Biratnagar Kings are listed with 2 matches, 0 wins, 2 losses and 0 points. Kathmandu Gorkhas and Pokhara Avengers each have 1 match, 0 wins, 1 loss and 0 points. The canonical team name used here is Kathmandu Gorkhas. A display variant appears as “Kathmandu Gurkhas” on the ESPN teams page, but it refers to the same franchise, not an additional team. [3] The NPL teams page is the place to check the eight team identities; full 2026 rosters and captains were not verified for this page.
How to read the points-table fields
The standings source supplies columns for matches played, wins, losses, tied matches, no-result matches, displayed points and net run rate. The values are copied from the source table. They were not recalculated from the schedule, match scores or a separate formula. NRR is therefore presented as the source-listed figure, including the positive and negative decimals shown in the standings table.
The source includes an N/R column, and all eight rows show 0. That is different from treating a missing field as zero. The source also shows 0 in the T column for every team. The fetched page does not state a separate no-result treatment, tie-resolution procedure or NRR calculation method, so this page does not supply one from another tournament or season.
The table happens to display 2 points alongside each recorded win and 0 alongside each listed loss in this snapshot. That pattern is reported as an observation only. The source does not directly state a general NPL 2026 points-allocation rule, so no broader rule is asserted here. The NPL schedule remains the better reference for the underlying fixture and result entries.
Snapshot, not a live standings feed
ESPNcricinfo notes that standings are updated with the completion of each game. The evidence used for this page is still a bounded retrieval taken at the timestamp above, not an automatic refresh or live-feed guarantee. Later results may change matches played, points, NRR and table order. Recheck the primary source before treating this snapshot as current.
The schedule packet records a 32-entry season listing, but the points-table source does not map positions to Qualifier 1, the Eliminator or Qualifier 2. [2] No team is described here as qualified, eliminated or assigned to a playoff slot. The NPL news and match-updates page can provide dated report context, while this page remains limited to the standings evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Who leads the NPL 2026 points table?
Karnali Yaks lead the checked 30 October snapshot with 4 points from 2 wins. This is a dated standings position, not a prediction of the final result. [1]
Why do several teams have 2 points?
Lumbini Lions, Chitwan Rhinos, Janakpur Bolts and Sudur Paschim Royals are all displayed with 2 points. Their matches played differ: Lumbini and Chitwan have played one match, while Janakpur and Sudur Paschim have played two. The source displays the order and NRR, but it does not publish a general tie-break explanation on the fetched page. [1]
What does N/R mean in the NPL table?
N/R means no-result matches in the table’s field label. ESPNcricinfo explicitly displays the column, and every team has a source-listed value of 0 in this snapshot. [1]
Does the current table show who has qualified for the playoffs?
No. The current order does not establish qualification or elimination. The points-table source does not directly provide the position-to-playoff mapping used for the 2026 competition.
Is this points table live?
No. Table last reliably verified 4 November 2026; current standings not confirmed; results 14/15 NOT applied here. The native eight-row table remains a dated fallback and is not an automatic standings feed.
Follow the NPL standings carefully
Use the NPL venues page for the separate ground context alongside the dated standings here. Keeping the source timestamp visible matters because the opening table contains teams with unequal matches played and leaves the competition rules noted above unverified.
