FK Grobiņa will play Virslīga football again in 2026 after surviving an emotional, high-stakes playoff second leg at the packed RTU Stadium, edging JDFS Alberts 1-0 on the night and 1-0 on aggregate. For the second straight year, Grobiņa ended Alberts’ promotion hopes in the playoff - and once again did it on their opponent’s home turf.

In the closing match of Round 33 of the Latvian Virslīga, FK Liepāja clinched a crucial away victory over FK Auda, securing a return to European competitions and claiming the bronze medals for the 2025 season - their first top-three finish since 2021.

Valmiera FC’s hopes of competing in the 2025 Virslīga season have officially ended, as the Latvian Football Federation’s (LFF) Appeals Committee upheld the initial decision to deny the club a league license. The ruling, issued on January 29, confirms that Valmiera will not participate in the top flight, with FS Jelgava taking their place.

Latvian Virslīga side FS Jelgava have officially announced that the club has extended the contract of central defender Kristers Aļekseičiks until the end of the 2026 season.

Following the final match of the Virslīga promotion playoffs, referee Andris Treimanis published a sharply critical Facebook post, accusing JDFS Alberts supporters and members of the club’s management of endangering the safety of him and his officiating team during the match, during the breaks, and even after the final whistle. Alberts head coach Artūrs Zakreševskis later responded with his own statement, and the Latvian Football Federation eventually issued an official reaction as well.
