League 2 – Group C | 2026 Season | Round 28 Recap
After 28 rounds of the 46-match season, the race in League 2 Group C is extremely competitive. The fight for the lone automatic promotion spot is tight at the top, while the playoff race remains packed with contenders.
🥇 Promotion Race
Limón F.C. have climbed to the top of the table with 58 points, taking control of the automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Their recent form has been excellent, winning their last four matches in a row, giving them momentum at the perfect time.
Just behind them are Real Salt Lake and Cruzeiro, both sitting on 58 and 56 points respectively. Real Salt Lake remain level with Limón on points but trail on goal difference, while Cruzeiro stay within striking distance just two points back.
Vélez Sarsfield occupy 4th place with 55 points, meaning the top four teams are separated by only three points, keeping the promotion race completely open.
🔵 Playoff Positions (2nd–9th)
The playoff spots remain crowded with strong teams battling for position:
-
2nd – Real Salt Lake (58 pts)
-
3rd – Cruzeiro (56 pts)
-
4th – Vélez Sarsfield (55 pts)
-
5th – Bayer Leverkusen (53 pts)
-
6th – Santos (53 pts)
-
7th – Toluca (51 pts)
-
8th – Tigre (50 pts)

9th – Everton (48 pts)
Everton currently hold the final playoff position but have struggled recently, leaving them vulnerable to teams just below the cutoff.
⚔️ The Playoff Cut Line
Just outside the playoff spots are two clubs still very much in the race:
-
10th – Twente (45 pts) → Friendly Cup qualification
-
11th – Tottenham (42 pts) → King’s Cup spot
Twente remain just three points away from the playoffs, meaning a strong run of results could quickly move them into the postseason positions.
📈 Notable Movement
A few teams made important moves in the standings:
-
CF Montréal climbed into 12th place
-
General Díaz moved up to 17th
-
Aj Auxerre dropped to 20th
-
CSKA Moscow fell further down to 22nd
The middle of the table remains extremely tight, where just a few results can shift teams several positions.
🔻 Relegation Zone
The battle to avoid relegation is becoming increasingly difficult for the bottom clubs:
-
23rd – C.D. Numancia (18 pts)
-
24th – Guarani (15 pts)
Both teams currently occupy the automatic relegation spots to League III and will need a dramatic turnaround during the remaining fixtures to survive.
