Show Notes
The 2026-27 season is upon us and the boys are back to preview what this year has in store. Who will go up, who will drop into the third tier of Spanish football and who will be the dark horses to look out for.
In this season preview Alex and Liam will talk about all 22 clubs in detail across parts 1-3, and then in part 4 will give you their predictions.
What a season we have in store! We have been joined by giants Real Mallorca and Real Oviedo, that means of course the Asturian Derbi is back, as is the Canarian derbi with Tenerife promoted. We have representation in Catalonia once again with the promotion of Sabadell and relegation of Girona. We are as diverse as ever with not one, not two, but three island teams, an enclave and a team playing outside of Spain, Pique’s Andorra FC. Even the B team cloud has a silver lining, Celta B maintains our Galician representation and means that we have double the chance of seeing the future stars of Spanish football.
With the departure of some big boys, it means that Segunda is once more a league where anyone can beat anyone, and WE ARE HERE FOR IT. Roll on the 2026-27 season.

More from The Spanish Segunda Show
This week we had manager madness as we saw not one, not 2, but 3 sackings in 7 days. Ruben de la Barrera last Monday night with Las Palmas, Ruben Albes this Sunday night with Leganes and Monday morning brought number 3, Albert Celades of Cadiz. Almeria made it seven wins in a row, Sporting Gijon jumped into the play offs with victory and Eldense and Granada are coming nicely to the boil with three wins in a row.

This week Segunda lost their only undefeated side, with Castellon falling in Andorra meaning Eibar are top for another week despite defeat in Oviedo. Almeria made it 6 wins in a row against Leganes who must now be reviewing Ruben Albes’ future, Las Palmas were comfortably beaten against Mallorca to leave Ruben de la Barrera teetering on the brink, Eldense’s late winner sparked rage in Cordoba’s Ivan Ania, Sabadell won again this time with ten men, we had an all B team affair, and Real Valladolid demolished Albacete in Etxeberria’s first game in charge.

Albacete have wielded the axe and Alberto González becomes our third sacking of the season, we have new leaders as Eibar go top, Cádiz hit Leganés for 4 to get their first win of the season, both B teams are involved in 3-2 thrillers including a Granada remontada from 2-0 down, we have positive runs for Eibar who make it 7 wins in a row and Almeria who make it 5, as well as a couple of coaches who are popping their heads above the parapet to be shot at with their poor runs. El Comandante is back in Segunda and we have the Copa del Rey draw to talk about.
