Venezia and Frosinone have officially secured promotion to Serie A, one round ahead of the end of the regular Serie B season. This double ascent, confirmed on May 1, 2026, reshapes the balance of Italian football and opens new scenarios for teams competing in the second tier.

Venezia, in particular, celebrates an immediate return to the top flight, just one year after their relegation to Serie B in 2025. A significant achievement for the Lagunari, who demonstrated resilience and determination to climb back up promptly.

Mathematical certainty arrived despite a 2-2 draw away against struggling Spezia. The Venetians had initially squandered a two-goal lead, but the point gained was enough to guarantee their ascension to the top league.

In parallel, Frosinone consolidated their position, pulling away from Monza and securing the second automatic promotion spot. For the Ciociari too, a celebration awaits for their return to Serie A, crowning a successful season.

The Serie B promotion system grants direct access to Serie A for the top two classified teams, while the third promoted team will be determined through play-offs, involving several teams battling for the final available slot.

Venezia's recent history is marked by an alternation between Serie A and Serie B. Since their bankruptcy in 2015, the club has played in Serie A in the 2021-22 and 2024-25 seasons, in both cases being immediately relegated. This new return marks another stage in an oscillating but always hard-fought journey.
