The Korea Professional Football League has cancelled its scheduled Media Day event for the K League promotion race, which was set to take place next month.

On the 28th, the league officially announced that the "K League Promotion Race Media Day & Fan Fest," originally planned for October 7, had to be cancelled due to a comprehensive review of operational conditions.

Initially, the league had planned to combine the Media Day with a fan fest to heighten excitement around the final regular-season standings battle and promotion race in K League 2. However, after considering various operational factors, it ultimately decided to cancel the event. The league added, "We are currently reviewing options for press conferences targeting teams that will participate in the K League 2 playoffs. Specific formats and schedules will be announced once finalized."

This season's K League 2 is witnessing the most intense promotion race in its history. The top two teams in the regular season earn direct promotion to K League 1, while teams ranked third through sixth compete in the playoffs, with up to four teams potentially earning promotion based on playoff results.

The current standings battle remains uncertain. Suwon Samsung leads with 53 points (16 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses), while Suwon FC sits in second place with 48 points (13 wins, 9 draws, 3 losses).

The chase for playoff qualification among mid-to-upper tier teams is also fierce. Seoul E-Land FC holds third place with 48 points (14 wins, 6 draws, 6 losses), trailing only in goal difference. Daegu FC is fourth with 46 points (13 wins, 7 draws, 6 losses), Hwaseong FC is fifth with 44 points (12 wins, 8 draws, 6 losses), and Busan IPark is sixth with 41 points (12 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses), closing in on the final playoff spot. Standings are fluctuating with every round.

With narrow point gaps surrounding both direct promotion spots and playoff qualification, matches through the final round are expected to remain unpredictable, with no clear outcome foreseeable until the very end.
