Before to resume the league, since its break  on March 5, Bashundhara Kings are leading the table with 25 points from nine matches, closely followed by the reigning champions Abahani Limited (24 points from 10 matches) and Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra (20 points from nine matches).  

The league was called off for one month due to national team’s assignment for the FIFA Friendly match, the national Under-23 team played in the AFC Under-23 qualifying matches and Abahani Limited played a group phase match in the AFC Cup.

Now it will take more than one month to complete the first leg as the league matches would again be stopped when the Bangamata  Under-19 International Tournament will be held from April 22 and Abahani will play their AFC Qualifying home matches during the period.
