Liga FPD relegation for 2026-27 hinges on the aggregate table across the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, with the bottom side dropping to Liga de Ascenso. After seven matches in the ongoing Apertura, Deportivo Saprissa leads with 18 points while Herediano and Escorpiones Belén sit at the foot on four points each, reflecting early struggles for the traditionally stronger Herediano side and the promoted or rebuilding Escorpiones. Puntarenas, Pérez Zeledón, and San Carlos occupy the lower mid-table and remain vulnerable if form does not improve. Recent results show Saprissa and Cartaginés maintaining strong starts, while Herediano’s poor opening has heightened attention on their recovery prospects over the full campaign.
