Venezia and Frosinone have already secured automatic promotion to Serie A after finishing the regular 2025-26 Serie B campaign in first and second place with 82 and 81 points respectively. Venezia clinched its return with a 2-2 draw at Spezia, while Frosinone maintained strong form throughout the final weeks. The third promotion spot now hinges on the ongoing play-offs, where third-placed Monza and fourth-placed Palermo hold direct semi-final berths, joined by Catanzaro, Juve Stabia, and others from the first round. Recent head-to-head trends, home advantage in the knockout stages, and squad depth will shape the outcome as the play-off path narrows to one additional team advancing to the top flight.
