The 2026-27 Liga FPD season is underway with 10 teams, where relegation is decided solely by the lowest aggregate points total across the Apertura and Clausura tournaments. Early results show Deportivo Saprissa atop the table on strong form, while CS Herediano and Escorpiones de Belén occupy the lower positions after several opening losses. Herediano’s struggles contrast with their typical contention for titles, potentially reflecting squad transitions or fixture difficulty. Newly integrated sides like Inter San Carlos and Deportiva San Carlos occupy mid-table spots amid competitive balance. Traders monitor injury reports, rest advantages, and head-to-head trends as the aggregate table takes shape, with late-season momentum often decisive in avoiding the drop to Liga de Ascenso.
