As the 2025-2026 V League regular season approaches its conclusion, the battle for the top spot that leads directly to the championship match is heating up with only 3-4 games left for each team. In the men's division, Korean Air, currently holding 66 points from 22 wins and 10 losses, is competing fiercely with Hyundai Capital, who has 62 points from 20 wins and 12 losses. In the women's division, Korean Road Corporation leads with 63 points, closely followed by Hyundai Construction with 61 points, creating an intense rivalry. The competition is particularly fierce in the women's division, where both teams have 4 matches remaining and only a 2-point difference, meaning every game could change the rankings significantly. While Road Corporation sits at the top, Hyundai Construction has gained momentum with a 6-game winning streak, narrowing the gap significantly from an earlier 10-point difference, demonstrating its potential to overtake Road Corporation for the top spot.

Conversely, the early dominating performance of Road Corporation has been shaken by the injury of their star player, Tanacha Suksod, who is sidelined for the season with a ruptured ankle ligament. Meanwhile, in the men’s league, Korean Air has regained momentum, riding on a 4-game winning streak. After briefly losing their lead to Hyundai Capital, they have reclaimed their spot at the top, supported by the strong return of their ace player, Jung Ji-seok. With only a 4-point lead over Hyundai Capital, winning all remaining matches would secure them a direct spot in the championship match. The competitive nature is not only at the top of the ranking but also for playoff tickets, as the fight for 3rd and 4th places tightens. The likelihood of a playoffs or qualifying rounds could change drastically depending on the outcomes of the remaining matches between KB Insurance and the Korean Electricity team, which currently have a narrow 3-point split that could necessitate a playoff round.
