Relegation
For this season, it was proposed to ditch direct relegation to the third-tier league Divisional C and instead hold two play-off series to be contested by the bottom two teams and the teams placing third and fourth in the 2026 Divisional C, aiming to expand the Segunda División Profesional to 16 teams starting from 2027. This proposal is still pending approval by the Professional League Council.[4]
