League 2 – Group B
2026 Season – Round 25 Recap (of 46)
We’ve reached the halfway point of the campaign, and Group B is delivering one of the tightest promotion battles across League 2.
🔝 Title & Automatic Promotion Race
After 25 rounds, FC Schalke 04 lead the table on 49 points, but they are only ahead on goal difference. Vasco Da Gama and ACF Fiorentina are level on points, making it a three-way deadlock at the top.
Just behind them:
-
Inter sit on 47 points
-
Hannover 96 follow with 46
-
Atalanta BC remain within striking distance on 44
With only 1st place earning automatic promotion to the World Premier League, this race is razor-thin. One slip could change everything.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Places 2 through 9 qualify for the promotion playoffs, and the battle here is fierce:
-
7th: Atlético Mineiro – 39 pts
-
8th: Cagliari Calcio – 39 pts
-
9th: Arminia Bielefeld – 38 pts
Arminia currently hold the final playoff spot by just a single point, meaning every result from here on out carries massive weight.
🏆 Mid-Table Stakes
-
10th: Desna – 35 pts (Friendly Cup qualification spot)
-
11th: Busan IPark FC – 34 pts (King’s Cup qualification spot)
With only a small gap between 9th and 12th, these teams are still very much in the playoff conversation. A strong run of form could easily push them upward.
⚠️ Relegation Battle
The bottom two will drop to League III, and the fight to avoid those spots is intensifying.
Currently in the danger zone:
-
23rd: Monaco FC – 20 pts
-
24th: Asteras Tripolis – 18 pts
They are running out of time, but with 21 rounds remaining, survival is still mathematically possible.
Just above them:
-
22nd: Stade Brestois 29 – 26 pts
-
21st: Real Betis – 27 pts
-
20th: FC Ka – 28 pts
This lower-table cluster is separated by only a few points — one good or bad streak could completely reshape the relegation picture.
📊 Halfway Snapshot
-
3 teams tied at the top
-
6-point gap between 1st and 6th
-
Only 4 points separating 7th from 12th
-
A congested relegation scrap
With 21 rounds left in this 46-match season, Group B is perfectly poised for a dramatic second half.
The promotion fight is wide open. The playoff race is ruthless. The relegation battle is heating up.
Round 26 can’t come soon enough.
