While Venezia celebrates its promotion to Serie A, Monza faces a more complicated situation in the race for the second automatic promotion spot. After Serie B Week 37, played on May 1, 2026, Frosinone has pulled away, distancing themselves from Monza and solidifying their position for direct access to the top flight.

Venezia secured their return to Serie A with one round to spare, drawing 2-2 away to Spezia, a result that was enough to guarantee their ascension to the top flight just one year after their relegation. The Lagunari, who have previously played in Serie A in the 2021-22 and 2024-25 seasons, managed to climb back up immediately, although in the past they have often been relegated straight back down after promotion.

This marks the fourth promotion achieved by coach Giovanni Stroppa, a statistic that highlights his ability to guide teams to success. Their ascent has been one of the main stories of this Serie B season.

For Monza, the news of Frosinone pulling ahead means that the path to direct promotion becomes more challenging. With only one round left in the regular season, the Brianzoli club will now have to focus on the possibility of reaching Serie A through the playoffs, a longer and more uncertain route.

Serie B grants automatic promotion to the top two teams, while a third team will join them through an exciting playoff tournament. The current situation sees Frosinone in a privileged position compared to Monza for the second slot, making the final matchday crucial for defining the final standings and the teams that will contend for the last available spot.
