🏆 League 2 – Group B
2026 Season | Round 9 Recap (of 46 Rounds)
Nine rounds into a long 46-match season, Group B is already delivering a tight promotion race, a crowded playoff battle, and early relegation worries.

1st place → World Premier League
🥇 FC Schalke 04 (GER) – 20 pts
Schalke sit on top after Round 9, backed by a strong attack and solid form. They currently control the lone automatic promotion place, but with several contenders close behind, there’s little margin for error.
