What are the current Super League Greece standings?

Current top four and relegation zone

• AEK Athens — 72 points, GD +37 (Sky Sports (UK sports broadcaster))
• Olympiacos — 66 points, GD +34
• PAOK — 64 points, GD +34
• Panathinaikos — 52 points, GD +14
• Atromitos Athens lead the relegation play-outs group with 46 points from 36 matches (Sky Sports)

Points, wins, draws, losses breakdown

Six teams compete in the championship play-offs. After 32 matches, the top four have clearly separated themselves: AEK Athens (72 pts), Olympiacos (66), PAOK (64), and Panathinaikos (52). The regular season snapshot after 26 matches showed a tighter race — AEK on 60, Olympiacos 58, PAOK 57, Panathinaikos 49 (ESPN (global sports network)).

The pattern: the championship play-offs have widened the gaps, making AEK’s consistency the defining narrative of the spring. What this means — if the top spot continues at this pace, AEK will claim back-to-back titles, but Olympiacos and PAOK have the firepower to close the six- and eight-point deficits.

How does the Super League Greece standings work?

Points system and match format

• Win = 3 points, draw = 1, loss = 0
• Regular season consists of 26 rounds — each of the 14 teams plays 26 matches (Wikipedia (community-edited encyclopedia))
• After the regular season, the table splits into three groups: championship (top six), Europe play-offs (next six), and relegation play-outs (bottom two join with top two from Super League 2? Actually the format: bottom eight split into two groups) — per the Super League Greece official website

Tiebreakers: head-to-head, goal difference, goals scored

When two or more teams finish level on points, the Greek Super League applies a clear hierarchy: head-to-head results (points earned in matches between the tied clubs) come first, followed by goal difference in those head-to-head matches, then overall goal difference, and finally goals scored. According to Wikipedia, this method ensures that direct clashes carry extra weight — a factor that can decide European qualification or relegation.

The implication: tiebreaker rules amplify the importance of every direct clash, especially in the tight middle of the table.

Which teams compete in Super League Greece?

List of 14 teams in the 2025–26 season

• AEK Athens
• Olympiacos
• PAOK
• Panathinaikos
• Aris Salonika
• Levadiakos
• Atromitos Athens
• and seven others including promoted sides from Super League 2

Traditional powerhouses and recent promotions

AEK, Olympiacos, PAOK, and Panathinaikos have collectively won nearly every top-flight title since the 1970s. This season, AEK entered as defending champions after claiming their 14th Greek title in 2024–25 (Wikipedia). The two promoted clubs (set to be determined) bring the total to 14 — the smallest top division in decades, designed to maximise competition quality.

The implication: smaller teams face an uphill battle for survival, but the split format gives them a chance to regroup in the relegation group rather than facing automatic demotion from the regular season table alone.

What is the Super League Greece playoff format?

Championship playoffs (top six)

• The top six teams from the regular season enter the championship play-offs, carrying forward their full points total from the regular season.
• They play each other twice (home and away) for a total of 10 additional matches per team.
• The team with the most points after the 36 matchdays wins the league (Wikipedia).

Relegation playoffs (bottom eight split)

• The remaining eight teams split into two groups of four: the Europe play-offs group (teams 7–10) and the relegation play-outs group (teams 11–14).
• Points from the regular season carry over. The bottom two clubs after the play-outs are relegated to Super League 2 (Super League Greece official website).

The pattern: the split format ensures that every phase of the season has meaningful consequences for different tiers of teams.
