© Maxime Le PihifWith just one week left in the regular season, the race for playoff spots is at full speed. Some teams are hitting their stride at the perfect time, while others are struggling to keep their hopes alive. From the dominant Vienna Vikings to the Cologne Centurions at the bottom, here’s where every team stands after Week 13.
1. Vienna Vikings
Previous Rank: 1
The Vikings once again delivered a dominant performance in Week 13, defeating the Wroclaw Panthers. In Week 14, a win over the Paris Musketeers would secure them the #1 playoff seed and a direct ticket to the semifinals.
2. Stuttgart Surge
Previous Rank: 2
Stuttgart continued their strong form, beating the Cologne Centurions to clinch the West Division and secure a top-four playoff seed. They will look to close the regular season on a high against the Enthroners.
3. Munich Ravens
Previous Rank: 3
For the second time this season, the Ravens came out on top against the Madrid Bravos, once again winning a close game and proving they can handle pressure.
4. Nordic Storm
Previous Rank: 4
Nordic Storm dominated the Hamburg Sea Devils in Week 13 - the perfect dress rehearsal for their final game against Rhein Fire.

5. Paris Musketeers
Previous Rank: 5
Paris had no trouble against the Helvetic Mercenaries, putting in another impressive performance. However, Week 14 will be decisive - win against Vienna and they’re in the playoffs, lose and their season is over.
6. Rhein Fire
Previous Rank: 7
Fire turned heads with an offensively dominant showing against the Raiders Tirol. With Rohat Dagdelen as their offensive coordinator, the unit has fresh energy that could be key down the stretch.
7. Madrid Bravos
Previous Rank: 6
The Bravos fell to the Ravens once again and still have only one win against a team with five or more victories this season. That’s not the most encouraging stat ahead of their must-win game against Frankfurt.
8. Frankfurt Galaxy
Previous Rank: 9
Frankfurt’s win over the Prague Lions puts them in a great position for a playoff spot. With Paris and Fire facing tough matchups and their own decisive game against the Bravos, the Galaxy’s chances look strong.
9. Raiders Tirol
Previous Rank: 8
The Raiders’ loss to Rhein Fire ended their playoff hopes. Despite scoring 24 points, they couldn’t keep up and are now playing only for pride in Week 14.
10. Wroclaw Panthers
Previous Rank: 11
The Panthers put up a good fight against the Vikings but fell short, ending their playoff dreams.
11. Prague Lions
Previous Rank: 10
The Lions lost to Frankfurt and were officially eliminated from the playoff race, dropping one spot in the rankings.
12. Hamburg Sea Devils
Previous Rank: 12
Hamburg couldn’t repeat their close Week 8 battle against Nordic Storm, this time suffering a heavy loss. They’ll get one last chance for a win against the Berlin Thunder in Week 14.

13. Fehérvár Enthroners
Previous Rank: 14
Despite many setbacks this year, Fehérvár kept improving and finally celebrated their first win of the season in Week 13 against the Berlin Thunder - a moment of joy for the Hungarian side.
14. Berlin Thunder
Previous Rank: 13
The Thunder fell to the Enthroners and now sit below them in the rankings. They face Hamburg in Week 14 with a chance to climb back up.
15. Helvetic Mercenaries
Previous Rank: 15
The Mercenaries were outmatched by Paris and will now face Prague in Week 14, hoping to end a tough season on a positive note.
16. Cologne Centurions
Previous Rank: 16
Cologne showed signs of progress against Stuttgart but couldn’t do enough to threaten an upset. They’ll aim to build on that in their final game against the Raiders.
Final Week drama ahead
With the regular season finale coming up, several playoff spots are still on the line, and the top seed has yet to be decided. For some teams, Week 14 is all about seeding and momentum heading into the playoffs, while for others it’s win-or-go-home. And for those already out of the race, it’s one last chance to make a statement before turning the page to 2026.
