MetroStars sit first in the South Australia NPL with 52 points from 16 wins, four draws and two losses, placing Adelaide City second in the semi-professional competition.

Why the Standings Matter Now

Local amateur and semi-professional leagues provide regular competition for Adelaide clubs outside national pathways. Standings in these competitions reflect consistent performance across multiple weekends of play.

Current Positions Across Adelaide Competitions

In the 2026 Adelaide Footy League top division, Athelstone leads with 30 points and a 65.76 per cent win percentage while Tea Tree Gully sits second on the same points total but with a 65.01 per cent win rate. In ice hockey, Adelaide Adrenaline hold seventh place in the AIHL with 17 points after 20 games, 38 points behind Adelaide Ice. Eastern United lead the South Australia State League 2 South on 36 points, with Adelaide University SC on 34 points after 16 games. As of July 19, 2026, Talons and Bandits have both secured AUSL playoff berths with eight wins from 15 games each.

Record Supporting the MetroStars Position

The 52-point total for MetroStars comes directly from their listed win-draw-loss record in the South Australia NPL. No other club in the provided standings matches that points haul, keeping the side clear at the top of the table.

Next Steps for Clubs

Teams will continue to play remaining fixtures in each competition to improve or defend their current positions before any postseason matches begin.
