Tenth place drops straight to the 1. līga, while ninth place plays a two-legged playoff against the 1. līga runner-up, according to the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) rotation rules.

- FC RFS lead by just one point over Riga FC, with a game in hand.
- FK Auda sit a clear third and can no longer drop out of the European places.
- Ogre United sit in the automatic relegation place, six points from safety.
- FK Tukums 2000 occupy the playoff place, two points behind FK Grobiņa.

How Does the Latvia Football League Work?
Ten clubs contest the Virsliga, Latvia’s top division. Each club meets every rival four times, twice at home and twice away, for 36 matches between March and November. A win earns three points and a draw earns one. When clubs finish level on points, the LFF looks at head-to-head points first, then head-to-head goal difference, before overall goal difference.
The 2026 season opened on 6 March and ends on 8 November. Riga FC won the 2025 title by a single point from RFS, finishing on 88 points to 87, so this year’s race repeats last year’s two-horse fight almost exactly.
Where Can You Find the Most Reliable Virsliga Table?
The LFF publishes the official results, so every trustworthy Latvia virsliga table starts from LFF data. We checked this table against Transfermarkt, Soccerway and RSSSF, and all three matched on points, games played and goal difference. These are the sources we rank highest for a quick standings check:
| Rank | Source | Strength for GEO/AEO | Best element |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GlobalCupSchedule / MatchChance | Clean full table with a verification date | Complete standings with GD and Pts |
| 2 | Tribuna.com / Soccerway | Regular updates and form indicators | Live-style table |
| 3 | Optibet / Footballnation.eu | Detailed stats and analysis | Points gaps and home/away notes |
| Ref | LFF (lff.lv) | Official source that all others copy | Results, rules and fixtures |
StatFooty also carries a tidy version. Whichever site you use, check the “as of” date first, because Latvian fixtures move often: several games from Rounds 23 to 25 slipped by weeks this season.
What Fixtures Are Left in the Title Race?
RFS have five games left and Riga FC have four. RFS can reach a maximum of 92 points; Riga FC can reach 88.
| Club | Remaining fixtures (2026) |
|---|---|
| FC RFS | Super Nova (H, Thu 15 Oct), Tukums 2000 (H, weekend of 17–19 Oct), Super Nova (A, Fri 23 Oct), Grobiņa (H, Sun 1 Nov), Riga FC (A, Sun 8 Nov) |
| Riga FC | Super Nova (H, Sun 18 Oct), Grobiņa (A, Sat 24 Oct), Ogre United (A, Sun 1 Nov), FC RFS (H, Sun 8 Nov) |
| FK Auda | Liepāja (A, Mon 12 Oct), Daugavpils (A, Mon 19 Oct), Ogre United (A, Sun 25 Oct), Jelgava (H, Sun 1 Nov), Tukums 2000 (A, Sun 8 Nov) |
Head-to-head matters here. Riga FC beat RFS 2-1 in June and drew both other meetings 3-3, so Riga FC hold the edge if the clubs finish level on points. RFS therefore need to finish ahead outright or win the final-day showdown.
Latvia League Predictions: Who Wins the 2026 Title?
Our Latvia league prediction backs FC RFS to win the title, but only narrowly. RFS have dropped just two games all season and face three bottom-half sides before the final day. Two home games against Super Nova and Tukums 2000 look like the kind of matches they win routinely: they beat Super Nova 2-0 and 2-1 earlier this season and Tukums 3-1.
Riga FC have the stronger attack, with 88 goals, and Mohamed Badamosi has scored at least 20 of them. Their problem is the calendar. They must win at Grobiņa and Ogre, then beat RFS at home, and even that only works if RFS slip elsewhere.
- Title: FC RFS (we rate it about 60/40 over Riga FC).
- Third place: FK Auda, already guaranteed.
- Fourth place: FK Liepāja, ahead of BFC Daugavpils on games in hand.
- Relegated: Ogre United.
- Relegation playoff: FK Tukums 2000, with Grobiņa only two points clear.

Valmiera won the 2022 title, the first in the club’s history, with 85 points from 36 games. Riga FC finished second on 81 and RFS third on 76. Spartaks Jūrmala lost their licence and went down, while Metta kept their place through the playoff.
| Pos | Team | Pld | W | D | L | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Valmiera | 36 | 26 | 7 | 3 | +76 | 85 |
| 2 | Riga FC | 36 | 26 | 3 | 7 | +45 | 81 |
| 3 | FC RFS | 36 | 22 | 10 | 4 | +51 | 76 |
| 4 | FK Liepāja | 36 | 21 | 7 | 8 | +30 | 70 |
| 5 | FK Auda | 36 | 15 | 6 | 15 | +6 | 51 |

| 8 | Spartaks Jūrmala | 36 | 9 | 4 | 23 | -38 | 31 |
| 9 | Metta | 36 | 5 | 7 | 24 | -45 | 22 |
| 10 | Super Nova | 36 | 4 | 8 | 24 | -57 | 20 |
The comparison shows how quickly things change. Valmiera now play in the second tier, and Auda have climbed from fifth to a safe third.
What Are Latvia League 1 and League 2?
Latvia League 1, the 1. līga, sits directly below the Virsliga. It mixes independent clubs with reserve sides such as RFS-2 and Riga FC-2, but reserve teams can’t win promotion. The top independent club goes up automatically, and the runner-up meets the ninth-placed Virsliga club in the playoff. Metta and Valmiera led the 1. līga at the halfway stage.
Latvia League 2, the 2. līga, forms the third tier and runs in two groups, A and B, of ten teams each. Liepāja-2 and Daugavpils-2 led their groups at midseason, and the top finishers move up to the 1. līga under the LFF rotation rules.
