How is this calculated?

A team is counted as still in it for a given target (the title, a top place, staying up) when at least one set of results for the matches left would get it there, taking into account that its rivals also play each other. It is counted as sure only when no set of results can take it away. Teams level on points are treated cautiously while matches remain: level is enough to stay in, never enough to be sure, because goal difference and the other tie-breaks are only applied once the season is over. Points deductions are included as published in the league table.

Eighteen teams can still finish in the top six of the Bundesliga and qualify for Europe in 2026-27.

No team is sure of a top-six finish yet. In the Bundesliga the top six places are sure of a European competition next season (Champions League, Europa League or Conference League), whoever wins the cups. A cup winner from lower down qualifies as well. 30 matchdays are left.
