J2 League

20 teams contest J2 League in 2026/27, and 9 matchdays have been played so far. Albirex Niigata lead on 19 points, 2 clear of Kataller Toyama. Vegalta Sendai are level with them.

Their record reads 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, with a goal difference of 0. Form tells a slightly different story: Vegalta Sendai have taken 13 of the last 15 points available (4 wins in 5), the best current run in the division despite sitting 3rd.

Kataller Toyama have scored most, 18 in 9 matches, while Vegalta Sendai have conceded fewest at 7. Albirex Niigata are perfect at home — 5 from 5 — and have taken 1 win from 4 on the road, which is where their lead will be decided.

K. Safo leads the scoring with 1 for Consadole Sapporo. At the other end, only goal difference separates Consadole Sapporo from safety — level on points with Sagan Tosu but below them in the table.
