**Qingdao Hainiu sits firmly at the bottom of the 2026 Chinese Super League table with just 14 points from 26 matches and a -19 goal difference, while Wuhan Three Towns holds 15th place on 21 points from 25 games amid a run of inconsistent results.** Multiple clubs face points deductions from federation rulings tied to prior issues, though these have not altered the bottom two's positions relative to the pack. With roughly four rounds remaining in the 30-match double round-robin, the two teams with the fewest points at season's end face relegation to China League One. Qingdao Hainiu's poor form and deficit make automatic relegation highly probable, while Wuhan Three Towns faces pressure to secure results in remaining fixtures against mid-table sides to avoid joining them. Upper-mid table teams such as Liaoning Tieren and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger remain clear of danger despite their own deductions.
