* Southampton: 4 points deducted in the supplied standings.
Points gaps compare adjacent clubs at each boundary; games played and goal difference still matter. Positions do not confirm a club's final outcome.
P is played, W won, D drawn and L lost. GF means goals for, GA goals against and GD goal difference (GF minus GA). Pts is the league points total. PPG divides that total by matches played, including any official points adjustments. Last 5 shows completed league results from oldest to newest; select a badge for match details.
A win earns three points and a draw earns one. Goal difference separates teams level on points, followed by goals scored. EFL regulations set out further tie-breaks if needed. We preserve the published league positions rather than calculate a different league order. An asterisk marks a points deduction; deductions can make Pts differ from three times W plus D.
For 2026/27, the top two go up automatically and six clubs enter the Championship play-offs. Third and fourth enter the semi-finals; fifth to eighth enter the eliminator round. The play-off winners also go up. The bottom three, positions 22 to 24, go down to League One. Colours show current positions, not confirmed promotion or relegation.
A club has a game in hand on another when it has played one fewer match. Compare the P column before judging a points gap. The gaps above compare the clubs immediately either side of a boundary; they are not the points needed to guarantee promotion or safety. Each club plays 46 regular-season matches. This table is checked twice daily and does not change live during matches.
