The Stars League 2026 season is the top football competition in Iraq, and the current campaign is already delivering tight races at both ends of the table. As of matchday 6, Erbil SC sits at the top, but several teams are close behind. This page covers the latest Stars League table, key stats, title favorites, and Stars League predictions for upcoming fixtures.
Stars League Table
The Stars League table shows Erbil SC in first place with 14 points from 6 games, remaining unbeaten with 4 wins and 2 draws. Al Zawraa follows in second with 12 points, also without a loss, and has scored a league-high 12 goals. Al Karma and Al Shorta Bagdad are tied on 11 points, though Al Karma has a game in hand. The race for the top spots is tight, and the fight for Asian competition places will likely involve these four sides.
Further down, Al Naft and Al Mosul are within striking distance of the leaders, while Duhok has drawn five of its six matches and sits seventh. With 20 teams in the league, the bottom half of the standings will become clearer as more matchdays are played, but early form suggests a competitive relegation battle ahead.
Favorites & Title Chances
Based on the current Stars League table, points gaps, and unbeaten starts, the title chances are concentrated among a few contenders. Erbil SC has around a 45% chance to win the Stars League 2026 title. Their defense has been outstanding, conceding only 1 goal in 6 matches, and they hold a narrow lead at the top. Al Zawraa has around a 35% chance, thanks to the best attack in the league and an unbeaten record. Al Karma, with a game in hand and also unbeaten, has about a 15% chance to challenge for the title if they keep pace with the top two. Al Shorta Bagdad, already with one loss, has a smaller chance, around 5%, but remains a dangerous outsider. The remaining schedule and head-to-head clashes will be decisive.
Season Stats
The Stars League stats for the 2026 season show an average of 2.19 goals per game across 54 finished events. Al Quwa Al Jawiya, the last season winner, is the most successful team historically, though their current campaign has started slower. The top scorers list is still taking shape, but Al Zawraa's 12 goals in 6 games highlight their attacking strength. Defensively, Erbil SC and Al Naft have been the toughest to break down, each conceding just once so far.
