**In the 2026 Besta deild karla, the relegation round features the bottom six teams from the regular season—Stjarnan, Valur, FH, Þór Akureyri, KA Akureyri, and ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar—competing over additional fixtures through October.** ÍBV sits last on 18 points with the worst goal difference, while KA and Þór hover just above on 20–21 points; FH holds a narrow buffer at 24. Stjarnan and Valur lead the group and appear safer. Recent results have seen little movement among the bottom sides, with form and goal difference likely to decide the final two relegation spots to 1. deild karla. Remaining matches, including home/away splits and any late injuries, will shape the outcome.
