Ding Liren continues to lead FIDE Circuit 2025, having accumulated 40.64 in the title match. However, following the conclusion of the Tata Steel Masters and Tata Steel Challengers, several players entered the race.

Praggnanandhaa R secured 25 points and moved into second place in the standings after his triumph in Tata Steel Masters 2025. He is closely followed by his compatriot, World Champion Gukesh D (22.37), and Nodirbek Abdusattorov (18.42).

The top finishers of Tata Steel Challengers–Thai Dai Van Nguyen, Aydin Suleymanli and Erwin L'Ami–also put themselves on the leaderboard.

The race for a spot in the Candidates 2026 is gathering momentum–as many as six tournaments counting towards the FIDE Circuit 2025 will be held in February.
