All rankings of the KBL regular league in the 2025-2026 season have been determined. As a result of the fierce ranking fight until the last minute, Wonju DB and Seoul SK ranked third and fourth, respectively, and Goyang Sono and Busan KCCC ranked fifth and sixth, completing the round of six playoff (PO) matches.

Suwon KT beat Goyang Sono 76-72 in the final regular league match held at Suwon KT Sonicboom Arena at 7 p.m. on the 8th. With this victory, KT finished the season with 27 wins and 27 losses, matching the target winning rate of 50% before the game. Sono, on the other hand, went 28-26.

The match between DB and KCC at the same time ended with DB's 109-101 victory. Anyang Jeong Kwan-jang, who confirmed the second place in advance, beat SK 67-65.

Sono and KCC tied for the winning rate with 28 wins and 26 losses, and the opponent's record was also tight with 3 wins and 3 losses, but Sono, who was ahead of goal difference, came in fifth and KCC sixth. As a result, the best-of-five playoff will be held with a showdown between third-place DB-6th-place KCC and fourth-place SK-5th-place Sono.

The game between KT and Sono unfolded quickly as both teams avoided excessive physical contact to prevent injuries. Sono led 21-20 in the first quarter, but KT Jonathan Williams, Han Hee-won and Kim Sun-hyung scored evenly in the second quarter, turning the tide to 40-37.

In the third quarter, KT Lee Doo-won widened the gap to 56-51 by showing his concentration to succeed in all three field throws. KT, which won the game with consecutive points by Jung Chang-young and Lee Doo-won in the middle of the fourth quarter, sealed the victory with Williams' decisive three-run shot 50 seconds before the end.

The ranking of the lower ranks has also been summarized. With the rankings of seventh-place KT and eighth-place Hyundai Mobis fixed, Hyundai Mobis showed off its potential to defeat first-place Changwon LG 78-56 in the final match.

At the bottom, Daegu Korea Gas Corporation won the final match, beating Seoul Samsung, which recorded 16 wins and 37 losses with 17 wins and 37 losses, by one game. As a result, Samsung has been disgraced as the lowest in the regular league for five consecutive years from the 2021-2022 season.

After completing all regular league schedules, KBL will now enter spring basketball to determine the true champion through the upcoming playoff stage, with No. 1 LG and No. 2 Chung Kwan-jang going straight to the semifinals.
