League II 2026 Group C Round 6 Recap

League 2 Group C – Round 6 Recap (2026 Season)

With six rounds completed in the 46-round season, Group C is beginning to separate into clear tiers, though the fight for promotion, playoffs, and survival remains very much alive.

🔝 Automatic Promotion Spot

• Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) lead the group with 16 points, staking an early claim on automatic promotion to the World Premier League. Their strong attacking output and consistent results home and away have made them the team to catch.

• Limón FC (CRC) sit just one point back on 15 points, ensuring the promotion race is far from settled.

🎯 Playoff Positions (2nd–9th)

• Cruzeiro (BRA) and FC Toulouse (FRA) remain firmly in the playoff mix, both showing solid balance across all competitions.

• Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER) and Santos (BRA) continue to apply pressure, staying well within reach of the top two.

• Everton (UK), CSKA Moscow (RUS), and Braga (POR) currently complete the playoff zone, though the margins are slim and one bad result could change everything.

⚔️ Cup Qualification Places

• Toluca (MEX) sit in 10th place, which would qualify them for the Friendly Cup if the standings were frozen today.

• Aj Auxerre (FRA) hold 11th, earning a provisional spot in the King’s Cup, but they remain within striking distance of the playoff places.

🚨 Relegation Battle

• At the foot of the table, C.D. Numancia (SPA) and CF Montreal (USA) occupy the bottom two positions and would be relegated to League III.

• Several clubs just above them are also struggling for form, suggesting the relegation fight could become one of the most intense storylines in Group C.

📊 Season Outlook

With 40 rounds still to play, League 2 Group C remains wide open. The promotion race is tight at the top, the playoff battle is congested in mid-table, and the relegation zone is already applying pressure—setting the stage for a dramatic and unpredictable season ahead.
