**Gimcheon Sangmu faces automatic relegation to K League 2 for 2027 as a military side ineligible for AFC competition, independent of final position.** As of early September 2026, after 26-27 matches in the triple round-robin phase, Gwangju FC sits last with just 12 points, one win, and a -41 goal difference, placing it firmly in the relegation round. The league splits into Championship and Relegation groups after round 33, with the bottom six contesting survival; the 12th-placed side (or play-off loser) faces potential direct drop or promotion/relegation matches against K League 2 sides, though rules limit some scenarios if Sangmu finishes last. Mid-table sides like Bucheon, Anyang, Incheon, and Pohang (31-35 points) remain vulnerable to slipping into the relegation phase amid tight points gaps and upcoming fixtures. FC Seoul’s dominant form has no direct bearing on the bottom, but the compressed schedule and recent form trends will shape which additional team joins Sangmu in dropping down.

Official relegation is defined as a team losing its place in K-League for the following season through their final standing in the 2026 K-League, via relegation playoff defeat, or by any other official league decision recognized by K-League.
If the 2026 K-League season is cancelled, postponed after December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there are no teams confirmed for relegation within that timeframe, the corresponding market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official announcements from K-League. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
