Racing Club Santander clinches La Liga promotion for 2026‑27

Racing Club Santander have secured promotion to La Liga for the 2026‑27 season with two rounds of the 2025‑26 campaign remaining. The club’s promotion ends a prolonged absence from Spain’s top division.

Only a handful of teams are already confirmed for the 2026‑27 La Liga season. Barcelona is among the clubs that have locked in their place for the upcoming campaign.

The promotion comes as the relegation battle remains exceptionally tight. As many as twelve clubs are still mathematically capable of dropping to Segunda.

Racing Club Santander’s achievement narrows the field of promotion contenders. Their ascent adds a historic club to the list of confirmed participants.

The final two fixtures will determine the remaining promotion spots and the clubs that will be relegated. Teams still in contention must secure points in the closing matches.

Looking ahead, the league will confirm the full roster of clubs for 2026‑27 after the season concludes. The outcome will shape the composition of Spain’s top flight for the next year.
