League II 2026 Group A Round 6 Recap

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

After six rounds of the 46-match season, League 2 Group A is already shaping up to be one of the most competitive groups, with tight gaps between promotion, playoff, and survival zones.

🔝 Promotion Race

• Fortaleza (BRA) sit on top with 13 points, holding the all-important automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Their balance between home dominance and solid away results has given them the early edge.

• AC Milan (ITA) and Cartaginés (CRC) remain right on Fortaleza’s heels, also on 13 points, keeping the title fight wide open heading into Round 7.

🎯 Playoff Contenders (2nd–9th)

• The playoff zone is packed, with just three points separating 2nd from 9th.

• Ajax (NEATH), Pachuca (MEX), and Tout Puissant Mazembe are all firmly in contention, showing consistent form.

• Vancouver Whitecaps, Sol de América, and Olympiakos (GRE) round out the playoff places for now, but none can afford a slip with challengers closing in fast.

⚔️ Cup Qualification Spots

• Bahia (BRA) currently sit 10th, which would qualify them for the Friendly Cup if the season ended today.

• Chankas CYC (PER) hold 11th place, earning a spot in the King’s Cup, though pressure is mounting from both above and below.

🚨 Relegation Battle

• At the bottom, Al Ahly SC (EG) and Raja (MOR) occupy the final two positions and would be relegated to League III.

• With 40 rounds still to play, there is plenty of time for a turnaround, but early warning signs are already flashing red.

📊 Season Outlook

With only 6 of 46 rounds completed, the margins are razor-thin across the table. Promotion, playoffs, cup qualification, and relegation are all far from settled, setting the stage for a long and dramatic campaign in League 2 Group A.
