League 2 – Group D | 2026 Season | Round 22 Recap
With 22 rounds completed in the 46-match season, Group D is shaping up to be one of the most competitive divisions in League 2. The fight for automatic promotion, playoff qualification, and survival remains wide open across the table.
🥇 Promotion Race (1st Place)
Leading the standings is Corinthians with 47 points. Their strong attacking numbers and consistent results have put them in pole position for promotion to the World Premier League.
Close behind is Aston Villa on 46 points, just one point off the top, meaning the margin for error is extremely small. Peñarol (45 pts) and Club Destroyers (44 pts) remain firmly in contention as well.
This four-team cluster could easily reshuffle over the next few rounds.
🔥 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently occupying the playoff positions:
-
Aston Villa – 46 pts
-
Peñarol – 45 pts

-
Banfield – 41 pts
-
Always Ready – 37 pts
-
FC Nantes – 37 pts

🎯 Qualification Positions
-
10th (Friendly Cup): Bolton Wanderers – 33 pts
-
11th (King’s Cup): Real Sociedad – 32 pts
Both clubs remain within striking distance of the playoff zone, so movement here is very likely in upcoming rounds.
⚠️ Relegation Battle
The bottom of the table is beginning to separate:
-
23rd: KRC Genk – 12 pts
-
24th: Coton Sport – 6 pts
Coton Sport is in serious danger, already well behind the rest of the league, while Genk still has a mathematical path back with a strong run of form.
