Santiago Wanderers lead the 2026 Liga de Ascenso with 44 points after 24 matches, holding a narrow edge over Cobreloa on 42 and San Luis on 41, in a race where the regular-season champion earns direct promotion to the 2027 Liga de Primera while the next seven teams contest a liguilla for the second spot. With roughly six rounds remaining in the double round-robin, recent results have kept the top tightly bunched, and goal difference plus head-to-head results could decide ties. Contenders like Magallanes, Deportes Antofagasta, and Recoleta remain within striking distance for playoff qualification. Administrative investigations into San Marcos de Arica and Deportes Puerto Montt add uncertainty, while Rangers’ late surge has narrowed the relegation battle at the bottom. Remaining fixtures and squad depth will shape final positioning.
