The relegation hexagonal in the 2026 LigaPro Serie A 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 (21)—who carry those totals into a 10-match round-robin phase beginning September 20. Manta and Delfín enter with the largest deficits and worst goal differences, positioning them as the strongest candidates for the two drops to Serie B in 2027. Mushuc Runa holds the best starting margin among the group, while the middle four face tighter margins where results, goal difference, and head-to-head outcomes in the hexagonal will decide survival. The phase runs through mid-December.
