Oct 22, 2026

Both the champion and the last-place club could be determined this weekend in South Korean football, with the top league's dozen clubs about to be split into two groups for the final stretch of the season. The teams in the K League 1 will play their 33rd matches of the season on Saturday, with all six matches scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. After the weekend, the top six teams will be paired into Final A, and the bottom six will drop into Final B. The teams will then play five matches within their own group to finish out the 2026 season. FC Seoul can clinch their first championship in 10 years Saturday, when they host Gangwon FC at Seoul World Cup Stadium. FC Seoul have 66 points, 16 ahead of Ulsan HD FC with six matches remaining. FC Seoul will secure the title with a win over Gangwon FC, regardless of Ulsan's outcome against Pohang Steelers. If FC Seoul and Ulsan both lose or both have a draw Saturday, then FC Seoul will also lock down their championship. Ulsan can only delay FC Seoul's championship celebration if they beat Pohang and FC Seoul lose to or end with a draw against Gangwon. A
