**Wuhan Three Towns and Qingdao Hainiu occupy the relegation places in the 2026 Chinese Super League with roughly six to eight matches remaining per side.** As of late August, Wuhan sit 15th on 16 points from 22 games while Qingdao Hainiu are bottom on 14 points from 24, both well clear of safety after multiple federation points deductions across the league. Qingdao’s recent form has been dismal, while Wuhan’s win rate remains low amid ongoing squad instability. Several mid-table sides carry their own deductions but hold enough games in hand and superior goal differences to stay clear. The bottom pair face tough remaining schedules against stronger opponents, though any late surge or additional sanctions could still shift the final two relegated teams before the November close.
