**Guangdong GZ-Power holds a commanding lead in the 2026 China League One standings with 49 points from 21 matches, driven by an undefeated streak in recent fixtures, a +27 goal difference, and consistent attacking output.** Shenzhen Juniors sit second on 39 points, creating a clear gap to the rest of the field chasing the second automatic promotion spot to the Chinese Super League. Point deductions have impacted several clubs, including Changchun Yatai and others, while newly relegated sides like Meizhou Hakka and Changchun Yatai adjust to the second tier. With roughly two months remaining in the season, Guangdong’s form and home/away splits give them the strongest position for promotion, though the battle for second remains competitive amid shifting results and fixture congestion.
