Guangdong GZ-Power has secured promotion to the 2027 Chinese Super League after building an unassailable lead in the 2026 China League One standings. With 27 matches played, the side sits on 60 points from an 18-6-3 record and a +29 goal difference, well clear of second-placed Nantong Zhiyun on 51 points. Their strong attacking output and defensive record have defined the campaign, while several teams below face points deductions that further widened the gap. The league runs until early November, but the top spot and automatic promotion are effectively decided, leaving only secondary questions around final positions and potential playoff spots for traders to monitor.
