League 2 – Group A
2026 Season | Round 2 Recap
Round 2 of the League 2 Group A season is in the books, and early momentum is already starting to shape the promotion and relegation picture in this 46-round marathon.
🔝 Promotion Race
Pachuca (MEX) sit alone at the top after a perfect start, winning both of their opening matches to collect 6 points. With a strong goal difference and flawless home form, they currently occupy the all-important 1st place, which would earn automatic promotion to the World Premier League if the season ended today.
🎯 Playoff Contenders (2nd–9th)
A tightly packed chase group follows, with Fortaleza (BRA), FC Copenhagen (DK), Ajax (NEATH), Olmedo (ECU), Caracas FC (VEN), Olympiakos (GRE), Atletico Indio (HON), and Cartagines (CTR) all locked on 4 points or 3 points. Goal difference is already proving crucial, and with only two rounds played, the playoff race remains wide open.
These clubs currently hold positions that would send them into the promotion playoffs (2nd–9th), but consistency will be key as the long season unfolds.
⚠️ Mid-Table Pressure
Middlesbrough (UK) sit in 10th place, which would currently qualify them for the Friendly Cup, while Dalian Shide (CHN) in 11th are on track for the King’s Cup. Both teams are right on the edge and could quickly move into the playoff mix—or slide downward—depending on Round 3 results.
🔻 Relegation Zone
At the bottom, Botafogo (BRA) and Tigres (MEX) occupy the final two places and would be relegated to League III if the season ended now. With only two matches played, there’s plenty of time to recover, but defensive struggles and lack of points are early warning signs.
🏁 Looking Ahead
With 44 rounds still to play, Round 2 has only scratched the surface. Early leaders will look to maintain momentum, while teams near the bottom must respond quickly to avoid being cut adrift in one of the most competitive groups in League 2.
Round 3 promises more movement—and possibly the first real statement performances of the season.
