**Guangdong GZ-Power (also styled Guangzhou E-Power or GZ-Power) holds a commanding lead in the 2026 China League One promotion race with 51–54 points from 23–24 matches, an 11-point cushion over second place, and a dominant record of 16 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses.** The side’s superior goal difference and consistent results have positioned it as the clear frontrunner for one of the two automatic promotion spots to the 2027 Chinese Super League. Shenzhen Juniors sit second on 43–44 points, with Guangxi Hengchen and Nantong Zhiyun closely grouped on 39–42 points, creating a tight contest for the second berth. The 30-round season, running March to November, is in its decisive phase with roughly six to eight rounds remaining; recent form, head-to-head results among the top four, and any late fixture congestion or squad issues will determine final positions. Trader consensus reflects GZ-Power’s substantial advantage while treating the battle for runner-up as more open.
