AEK Athens secures the 2026 Greek Super League championship
AEK Athens officially clinched its 14th Greek championship title on May 10, 2026, following a 2-1 comeback victory over Panathinaikos. The winning goal was scored by Joao Mario in the 93rd minute. The title was mathematically secured because the match between Olympiacos and PAOK concluded in a 1-1 draw. Under the leadership of manager Marko Nikolic, AEK maintained an undefeated streak in eight consecutive playoff derbies. The victory guarantees the club entry into the Champions League, with potential earnings estimated between 8.6 million and 18.6 million euros depending on their performance in the qualifying stages. Meanwhile, in the lower division play-outs, Asteras Tripolis, Panserraikos, Kifisia, Atromitos, Panetolikos, and AEL are competing to avoid relegation with three matches remaining.
