The closing round of the 2025‑26 Primera RFEF turned into a de facto promotion playoff. Real Madrid Castilla secured its semifinal spot by edging out Pontevedra on head‑to‑head criteria despite a three‑way tie on points.
Their opponent, Sabadell, finished second in Group II, just one point behind direct‑promoted Eldense. A victory would give Castilla the opportunity to return to Segunda División for the first time in 13 years.
The tie‑breaker will be decided over two legs, with a potential final awaiting the winner.
