League II 2026 Group A Round 12 Recap

League 2 – Group A

2026 Season • Round 12 Recap (of 46)

After 12 rounds, the League 2 Group A table is starting to take shape, but with 34 matches still to play, nothing is locked in yet.

🔝 Promotion Race

AC Milan (ITA) sit on top of the standings with 26 points, holding the all-important automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Their consistent form and strong goal difference give them a narrow but meaningful edge at this stage.

🔥 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)

The playoff battle is already intense:

• Chankas (CYC/PER) remain close behind in 2nd, level on points with the leader.

• Vancouver Whitecaps (CAN) and Pachuca (MEX) round out the top four, both showing promotion credentials.

• Fortaleza (BRA), Ajax (NE), Cartaginés (CRC), Caracas FC (VEN), and Fulham (UK) currently complete the playoff places.

With just a few points separating most of these teams, the playoff line is extremely volatile—one good or bad run could change everything.

⚠️ Middle Ground

• FC Copenhagen (DEN) in 10th would qualify for the Friendly Cup if the season ended now.

• Botafogo (BRA) sit 11th, currently in position for the King’s Cup.

Both clubs are within striking distance of the playoffs, keeping hopes alive with plenty of football still ahead.

🚨 Relegation Battle

At the bottom, the danger zone is already forming:

• FC Midtjylland (DEN) and Raja (MOR) occupy the final two spots and would be relegated to League III if the season ended today.

However, with such a long season, even early-season strugglers still have time to recover.

• 1st place → Promotion to World Premier League
