League 2 – Group C (2026)
Round 36 Recap
With 10 matches left in the season, the table is starting to take real shape—especially at the top where promotion and playoff positioning are heating up.
🔝 Title & Promotion Race
Real Salt Lake (77 pts) stays firmly in control of 1st place and the automatic promotion spot. They’ve been dominant all season (24W) and still hold a cushion despite a recent loss.
Right behind them, Limón FC (74 pts) and Santos (74 pts) are level on points and pushing hard. Both are in excellent form, making this a genuine three-team race for that single automatic promotion slot.
Bayer Leverkusen (72 pts) and Cruzeiro (71 pts) are still very much alive but can’t afford slip-ups with the top 3 pulling away.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
Currently occupied by:
- Limón FC
- Santos
- Bayer Leverkusen
- Cruzeiro
- Vélez Sarsfield
- Toluca
- Twente
- Tigre
There’s a tight battle here, especially from 5th to 9th, where just a few points separate teams. One bad run could drop a team out of playoff contention quickly.
⚖️ Mid-Table Stakes
- Everton (58 pts) holds 10th, securing a Friendly Cup spot—for now.
- Tottenham (55 pts) sits in 11th, which would qualify for the King’s Cup.
Just below, CF Montréal (55 pts) is level on points with Spurs and pushing to break into that cup qualification.
⚠️ Relegation Watch
The bottom is brutal right now:
- Braga (33 pts) and CSKA Moscow (32 pts) are clinging to safety.
- Red Bull Bragantino (24 pts) and C.D. Numancia (22 pts) occupy the relegation spots.
With only 10 rounds left, those bottom teams need immediate results to avoid dropping to League III.
🔥 Form Notes
- Real Salt Lake: Strong overall but just took a loss—momentum slightly shaken.
- Limón & Santos: Red-hot form, applying serious pressure.
- Mid-table teams: inconsistent, making the race for 9th wide open.
- Bottom teams: struggling heavily, especially defensively.
📊 What to Watch Next
- Can Real Salt Lake hold their lead, or will the chasing pack catch them?
- The playoff line (9th place) is far from secure.
- Relegation battle could come down to the final rounds.
With 10 matches to go, everything is still in play.
