Final standings — where each club starts the postseason
The five postseason clubs are settled and no remaining game can change the order. Each club's regular-season rank and where that rank starts in the postseason.
Data: Naver Sports · · Method →
The order of all five postseason clubs is settled too.
Eliminated
※ Reachable ranks include finishes decided by a tie. A two-team tie for 1st is settled by a one-game tiebreaker; other ties go to head-to-head wins, then head-to-head runs, then the previous season's finish. Clinch wins count ties against the club — the engine does not work out the head-to-head order of a tie. Remaining games follow the schedule: a win over a rival is that rival's loss, and a game between two other clubs has only one winner (or is a tie).
