Records and totals are computed from completed regular-season games through Friday, Feb 20, 2026. The table is ranked on win percentage, and clubs still level are separated by the league's own order: the record between them, then division leaders first, then divisional record, where they share a division, then conference record, then point difference, then points scored. Where this differs from the published procedure, stated rather than hidden: the league then compares records against the playoff teams in each conference, which a table taken mid-season cannot know, since it would have to borrow a fact from its own future. So a tie the league would settle there may come out in a different order here. Game results from Wikipedia, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0.
