The final matchday of LaLiga Hypermotion determines promotions and relegations with unprecedented tension, affecting Córdoba CF as they seek to secure their ninth place against Huesca.

The 2025-26 season of LaLiga Hypermotion enters its final chapter this weekend, presenting a scenario of maximum anticipation. Six teams are competing for the four promotion playoff spots to the First Division, a situation not seen since the 2013-14 season. In parallel, the fight to avoid relegation to Primera RFEF will be decided on an agonizing final matchday. In this context, Córdoba CF will close their participation at El Arcángel against an already relegated Huesca, with objectives that go beyond their current league position.
The Andalusian team, currently ninth with 60 points, has the opportunity to mathematically secure their position with a victory. However, a draw or a loss could see them drop to twelfth place, depending on the results of their direct competitors, which would also impact television rights revenue.
Four teams are applying pressure from behind: Albacete (59 points), Ceuta, Sporting, and Andorra (all with 58 points). Albacete is the most dangerous rival, as a win against Ceuta would allow them to overtake Córdoba if the latter loses. Sporting de Gijón, if they beat Granada, could also leapfrog the Cordoban team due to the overall goal average. Andorra, with a win against Burgos, could also reach 61 points and has the head-to-head advantage. Ceuta would only surpass Córdoba in a three-way tie at 61 points with Andorra.
A victory for Córdoba CF would bring them to 63 points, surpassing the 61 from the 2013-14 season, the year of their memorable promotion to the First Division. This figure would represent the club's third-best points tally in the silver category since the implementation of the three-points-per-win system.
While Córdoba focuses on its match, the playoff race is concentrated in five simultaneous games. Almería (71 points), Málaga (70), Las Palmas (70), and Castellón (69) provisionally occupy the playoff spots, with Burgos (69) level with Castellón and Eibar (67) lurking. With Racing de Santander and Deportivo de La Coruña already promoted, the playoff spots are being contested among these six contenders.
Almería has the clearest path, needing only a draw against Valladolid. Málaga visits a already relegated Zaragoza, where a win would secure their passage. Las Palmas faces a challenging away game against a newly promoted Deportivo at Riazor.
The key match is at Castalia between Castellón and Eibar. The winner will qualify for the playoffs, while the loser will be eliminated. Eibar has a tougher task, needing to win and for Burgos not to win against Andorra. Burgos largely depends on themselves, with a victory against the Andorran reserve team likely securing their spot, barring very specific mathematical combinations.
The other major story of the matchday will unfold at Butarque, where Leganés is fighting for survival against Mirandés. With Huesca, Cultural Leonesa, and Real Zaragoza already relegated, the fourth spot to Primera RFEF will be decided in this direct duel. Leganés, with a three-point advantage, could secure safety with a draw, while Mirandés must win to draw level on points.
This will be the second time in recent Spanish football history that all four playoff spots remain undecided on the final matchday, echoing the situation of the 2013-14 season, which culminated in Córdoba CF's promotion. Although this time the outcome at El Arcángel will not decide a direct promotion, the tension in the league is at its peak.
