Early season results in the 2026–27 Slovenian PrvaLiga highlight the vulnerability of newly promoted sides Nafta 1903 and Brinje Grosuplje, who sit mid-table but face the stiffest tests against established sides with greater squad depth and PrvaLiga experience. Radomlje and Mura occupy the lower positions after the opening fixtures, continuing patterns of inconsistency seen in prior campaigns, while Aluminij also sits near the drop zone. Pre-season models and league previews flagged these five clubs as the primary relegation candidates due to limited resources, late squad changes, and historical struggles to accumulate points over the 36-match schedule. The single automatic relegation spot plus the ninth-place promotion/relegation playoff mean early momentum and home form will heavily influence the final standings.
