Standings for the Season 42 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions

This table piggybacks off the official tracker provided by the Jeopardy! producers.

Included are players who made their last appearance between December 9, 2024 and November 14, 2025, covering 166 regular-play games, as well as players who qualify automatically by virtue of tournament victories (CJ = Celebrity Jeopardy!).

This table includes all players with three or more wins. On October 22, 2025, Jeopardy! released the following information about the 2026 postseason:

Based on ticket availability, the postseason is expected to begin on Monday, December 15, four weeks after the conclusion of qualification.

The table is sortable; clicking on a column's header cell will sort in ascending order; clicking again reverses the order. Each player's name also links to their J! Archive player profile.
