League 2 – Group C | 2026 Season – Round 37 Recap
With just 9 rounds remaining, the table is tightening at the top while the relegation battle is becoming increasingly desperate. Here’s how things stand after Round 37:
🔝 Title Race & Promotion Spot
Limón F.C. (CTR) remain in 1st place with 77 points, holding the crucial automatic promotion spot to the World Premier League. Their strong form (4 wins in the last 5) keeps them narrowly ahead of the chasing pack.
Real Salt Lake (USA) sit just behind in 2nd (77 pts), level on points but trailing on goal difference. They are in excellent form and look like serious contenders to take over the top spot.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER) in 3rd (75 pts) and Santos (BRA) in 4th (75 pts) are still very much in the race, making this a four-team battle for automatic promotion.
🎯 Playoff Zone (2nd–9th)
The playoff race is extremely competitive:
- 5th – Cruzeiro (BRA) (74 pts)
- 6th – Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) (70 pts)
- 7th – Toluca (MEX) (64 pts)
- 8th – Twente (NEATH) (63 pts)
- 9th – Tigre (ARG) (60 pts)
These teams are currently holding playoff positions, but the gap to those below is not huge, meaning every point matters heading into the final stretch.
⚖️ Mid-Table Stakes
- 10th – Everton (UK) (59 pts): Currently qualifies for the Friendly Cup, but just 1 point away from playoff contention.
- 11th – Tottenham (UK) (58 pts): Sitting in the King’s Cup spot, still within reach of both 10th and the playoffs.
Just behind them:
- CF Montreal (USA) and General Díaz (PAR) (both 58 pts) are still pushing hard to break into the top 11.
⚠️ Danger Zone
The bottom of the table is where the pressure is highest:
- 22nd – CSKA Moscow (RUS) (32 pts)
- 23rd – Red Bull Bragantino (BRA) (27 pts) ❌
These two teams are currently in the relegation spots to League III. While survival is still mathematically possible with 9 rounds left, both sides need immediate turnarounds.
Just above them:
- Braga (POR) (33 pts) and AJ Auxerre (FRA) (36 pts) are also in serious danger.
📊 Key Takeaways
- Four teams separated by just 2 points at the top – promotion race is wide open.
- Playoff battle (2nd–9th) is extremely tight with multiple teams within striking distance.
- Mid-table teams are still fighting for cup qualification spots.
- Relegation fight is heating up, with CSKA Moscow and Bragantino currently on the brink.
With Round 38 approaching, expect even more drama as teams fight for promotion, playoffs, and survival in the final stretch of this 46-round season.
