Venezia and Frosinone secured automatic promotion to Serie A by finishing first and second in the 2025-26 Serie B regular season with 82 and 81 points respectively, capping strong campaigns that included consistent results and favorable goal differences. The third promotion spot remains open through the ongoing playoffs, where Monza, Palermo, Catanzaro, and Juve Stabia advanced to the later stages after the May 8 conclusion of matchweek 38. Recent form, home advantage in two-legged ties, and historical playoff success will shape the remaining matches scheduled through late May, while roster stability and any late-season injuries among the contenders could influence progression to the final.
