Relegation Battle refers to the competitive struggle among sports teams, particularly in leagues with a system of promotion and relegation, to avoid being demoted to a lower division. This term is commonly used in football (soccer) leagues, where the lowest-performing teams at the end of a season face relegation to a less prestigious league.
