Santiago Wanderers lead the 2026 Liga de Ascenso table with 44 points from 24 matches, one ahead of Cobreloa, giving them the strongest position for direct promotion as league champions while the runner-up earns a playoff bye. Cobreloa sits second on 42 points with an identical +15 goal difference, and San Luis, Magallanes, Antofagasta, and Recoleta occupy the next spots within a narrow range, all vying for the remaining Liguilla berths that determine the second promoted side. Recent results have maintained a tight contest at the top through the double round-robin phase, with administrative issues and point deductions affecting lower teams but leaving the promotion race focused on current form, remaining fixtures, and home/away splits in the final weeks.
