League standings are a way to rank teams in a sports league based on their performance throughout the season. Each team earns points for wins and draws, while losses typically result in no points. The standings help determine which teams qualify for playoffs or championships. In most leagues, teams are listed in order of total points, with tiebreakers like goal difference or head-to-head results used if necessary. This system allows fans to easily see how their favorite teams, such as those in the Premier League or NBA, are performing relative to others in the league.
