Standings for the Season 42 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions

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

Current through 2025-10-24, covering 151 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:

The cycle for the Season 42 ToC commenced on December 9, 2024, three weeks before the start of Season 41's postseason. It's expected that this ToC will be played in early 2026, with its postseason starting at the end of 2025.

2023-24 Celebrity Jeopardy! champion Lisa Ann Walter, who could not participate in the 2025 ToC due to scheduling conflicts, carries over to this cycle.

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.
