**In the 2026 Besta deild karla, the bottom six teams from the regular season entered a relegation round, where the two lowest finishers drop to 1. deild karla.** As of mid-September updates, ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar sit last on 18 points after 23 matches, followed by KA Akureyri on 20, Þór Akureyri on 21, and FH on 24, while Stjarnan and Valur hold safer positions at 31 and 30. Recent results in the split-phase matches have kept ÍBV and KA under pressure, with goal difference and head-to-head records as potential tiebreakers. Remaining fixtures, including upcoming clashes involving KA and Þór, will determine final positions before the season concludes. The wisdom of crowds in the market reflects these standings and the limited games left to alter the bottom two.
