League Two 2025-26: Who Will Challenge for Promotion?
The new League Two season promises drama, surprises, and fierce competition as clubs battle for promotion and fight to avoid the drop. With several teams strengthening over the summer, the race for the top spots looks wide open.
The Promotion Contenders
Last season's playoff finalists are expected to be among the frontrunners again, with their squads bolstered by shrewd signings. Meanwhile, one ambitious club has splashed the cash in a bid for automatic promotion, bringing in proven League One talent.
Dark Horses to Watch
Several clubs could surprise this season with young managers implementing progressive styles of play. One team in particular, with an exciting crop of academy graduates, might just upset the established order.
Relegation Worries
At the other end of the table, financial constraints have left some clubs vulnerable. Two teams in particular face an uphill battle after losing key players and failing to adequately replace them during the transfer window.
Key Fixtures to Circle
- The early-season clash between two promotion favourites could set the tone
- A local derby that always produces fireworks
- The run-in fixtures that might decide the final playoff places
With new managers, fresh faces, and everything to play for, League Two promises to deliver another unforgettable season of football.
