RFS and Riga FC have pulled clear at the top of the 2026 Virslīga table with 73 and 70 points respectively after late September fixtures, leaving the battle for third place open among FK Auda, FK Liepāja, and BFC Daugavpils. Auda sits third with 57–60 points from 29–30 matches but faces a demanding run including matches against RFS and Liepāja. Liepāja and Daugavpils trail by 15–22 points yet hold games in hand and favorable fixtures against lower-table sides, allowing scope for points gains through the final rounds ending in November. Recent results, including draws between mid-table clubs and inconsistent form from Auda, sustain uncertainty over who will secure the position and its associated European qualification implications. FS Jelgava and SK Super Nova remain long shots given larger deficits and tougher remaining schedules.
