League 2 – Group A (2026 Season)
Round 44 Recap
With just 2 rounds remaining in the 46-game season, the race for promotion, playoffs, and survival is reaching its boiling point. Here’s how things stand after Round 44:
🏆 Title & Automatic Promotion Race
Chankas CYC (PER) remain firmly in control at the top with 100 points, creating a strong gap over the chasing pack. Their dominant form (4 wins in last 5) keeps them on the brink of securing direct promotion to the World Premier League.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC (CND) sit 2nd with 95 points, still mathematically alive but needing near perfection and a slip from the leaders.
⚔️ Playoff Battle (2nd–9th)
The playoff zone is intense, with several teams fighting for positioning:
- 3rd – F.C. Copenhagen (DK) (86 pts)
- 4th – AC Milan (ITA) (84 pts)
- 5th – Caracas FC (VEN) (81 pts)
- 6th – Atlético Indio (HON) (81 pts)
- 7th – Pachuca (MEX) (76 pts)
- 8th – Fulham (UK) (70 pts)
- 9th – Ajax (NETH) (69 pts)
👉 The fight between Fulham and Ajax is especially tight, with just 1 point separating them, while mid-table playoff teams are still jockeying for better seeding.
🎯 Mid-Table Stakes
- 10th – Botafogo (BRA) (69 pts): Currently holding the Friendly Cup spot, but only ahead on goal difference.
- 11th – Fortaleza (BRA) (67 pts): Occupying the King’s Cup position, but under pressure from below.
Just behind them, Sol de América (66 pts) is still within striking distance—this battle could shift dramatically in the final rounds.
⚠️ Relegation Danger Zone
At the bottom, the fight to avoid the drop is nearly decided:
- 22nd – Tout Puissant Mazembe (CG) (38 pts)
- 23rd – Raja (MOR) (34 pts)
- 24th – Tampa Bay Rowdies (USA) (27 pts)
🚨 The bottom two (Raja and Tampa Bay Rowdies) are currently set for relegation to League III, and both are running out of time to escape. Mazembe still has a slim chance but must deliver immediately.
🔥 Form Watch
- Chankas CYC: Red-hot form, dominating at the perfect time.
- Vancouver Whitecaps: Staying consistent to keep pressure alive.
- Mid-table teams: Mixed results creating volatility in playoff seeding.
- Bottom clubs: Struggling to string together wins when it matters most.
⏳ What’s Next?
With only 2 rounds left, expect:
- A potential title clincher at the top
- Fierce battles for playoff qualification and seeding
- A desperate scramble to avoid relegation
Every match now carries massive consequences.
