Qingdao Hainiu sits confirmed at the bottom of the 2026 Chinese Super League table on 14 points after 27 rounds, with an extensive losing streak and multiple points deductions from earlier match-fixing sanctions sealing their relegation to China League One. Wuhan Three Towns occupies the second relegation spot on 22 points, seven clear of safety but with only three matchweeks left, hampered by inconsistent form and a negative goal difference. Several mid-table sides carry similar point penalties that tightened the overall standings, while recent results such as Shanghai Shenhua’s emphatic win and Beijing Guoan’s victory over Qingdao Hainiu have clarified the drop zone. The final fixtures will determine if Wuhan can mount a late escape or if the two-team relegation quota is settled early.
