Thee league stage of the Nepal Premier League 2025 has reached its dramatic conclusion, producing a fiercely contested points table and confirming the four teams that will battle it out for this year’s title. After a season packed with last-over thrillers, surprise upsets, and standout individual displays, Biratnagar Kings, Kathmandu Gorkhas, Lumbini Lions, and Sudurpaschim Royals have officially secured their spots in the playoffs.
The final standings tell the story of a season where momentum shifted constantly. All four qualified teams showed resilience and consistency across their seven group-stage matches, each navigating high-pressure situations to stay ahead in the race. Their positions reflect both strategic depth and the ability to seize key moments when it mattered most.
Just outside the top four, Pokhara Avengers finished with 6 points—showing promise but falling short of the playoff threshold. Karnali Yaks and Chitwan Rhinos, each ending with 4 points, had moments of brilliance but couldn’t string together enough wins to stay competitive in the higher ranks.
The biggest headline of the season, however, comes from the dramatic downfall of the defending champions, Janakpur Bolts, who ended at the bottom of the table with just 2 points. Their steep drop from last year’s glory to this season’s struggles helped shape one of the most unpredictable NPL campaigns to date.
With the league stage now complete, all eyes shift to the knockout rounds, where the four qualified teams—Kings, Gorkhas, Lions, and Royals—will battle for supremacy. Each enters the playoffs with its own storyline, strengths, and momentum, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying finish to the NPL season.
