How to install 26.2 in RHEL 8?

I am having the same issue, was wondering if there is a solution to this as well.

Release notes:

The builds provided by TDF now follow AlmaLinux 9 baseline

AlmaLinux 9 corresponds to RHEL 9 baseline. TDF builds are not intended to run on older versions.

And I very much doubt that there will be distro-supported versions (there is no maintainer in RedHat for LibreOffice anymore, who would be able to patch everything required to support older baseline and microarchitecture).
