As of 18 June 2026, Inter Turku maintains its position at the top of Finland's Veikkausliiga with 26 points from 13 matches, displaying a record of seven wins, five draws, and one loss. KuPS follows closely in second place with 24 points from the same number of matches, while Oulu occupies third place with 23 points from 12 matches played.
The standings reveal a clear divide between the top and bottom halves of the table. The top six teams—Inter Turku, KuPS, Oulu, HJK, Gnistan, and VPS—will compete in the Championship Round, while the bottom six teams will enter the Relegation Round. HJK sits fourth with 19 points, with Gnistan and VPS tied for fifth and sixth place with 17 points each.
At the bottom of the table, Mariehamn continues to struggle significantly, occupying 12th place with only 5 points from 11 matches. The club has recorded no wins, four draws, and six losses, with a concerning goal difference of -12, having scored just 5 goals while conceding 17. This poor form puts Mariehamn in immediate danger of relegation as the season progresses.
Other relegation-zone teams include Jaro in 11th place with 7 points and SJK in 10th with 9 points. The gap between the safety line at sixth place and the relegation zone reflects the intensifying competition as the season reaches its midpoint, with teams from positions seven through twelve facing an uphill battle to avoid demotion from Finland's top football division.
