The relegation hexagonal in Ecuador's LigaPro Serie A 2026 features the bottom six teams from the completed first stage—Mushuc Runa (38 points), Deportivo Cuenca (36), Orense (33), Técnico Universitario (32), Delfín (28), and Manta FC (21)—who carry forward those totals into a 10-match round-robin starting September 20 and ending December 13. The two lowest finishers drop to Serie B. Manta enters with the largest deficit and poorest goal difference, positioning it as the clear frontrunner for relegation, while Delfín and Técnico Universitario face the steepest climb to avoid joining them. Recent form, home/away splits within the group, and any roster changes will shape the final two spots as the phase unfolds.
