We have our first team into the 2025/26 Gainbridge Super League Playoffs, but the past weekend could be looked back on as the moment when the top four created separation from the pack in this year’s playoff race with each taking victory over the course of the week’s action.
Without further ado, here are this week’s Power Rankings:

Summary |
|
| 1 |  |
Sporting JAX (13-4-5) Week 26: @ FTL |
 Last Week: 1 |
Sophia Boman’s becoming the latest scoring sensation for Sporting JAX with three goals in as many games, like a team with this much firepower needs another attacking threat. |
| 2 |  |
Lexington SC (10-2-10) Week 26: @ CAR |
Last Week: 3 |
An ideal week for Lexington, not only taking a good away win against DC Power in midweek but seeing both DC and Spokane fall on the weekend. That means a win against Carolina this weekend – easier said than done – and they’re nearly guaranteed a spot into the postseason field. |
| 3 |  |
Carolina Ascent FC (10-7-6) Week 26: vs. LEX |
Last Week: 2 |
The Ascent continue to look good in the attacking third, even if the finishing doesn’t always quite come off. Victory in Tampa Bay has the side with 16 points out of a possible18 over its six-game undefeated streak and surging toward the playoffs. |
| 4 |  |
Dallas Trinity FC (9-8-5) Week 26: @ BKN |
 Last Week: Not Ranked |
Dallas had to make a statement against Spokane on Saturday after consecutive defeats and was more than up to the task. A six-point cushion with six games to play doesn’t guarantee a playoff berth, but it’s well within Trinity’s control once again. |
