How to read the Serie B table
The table lists each team’s position (Pos), matches played (P), wins (W), draws (D), losses (L), goals for (GF), goals against (GA), goal difference (GD) and points (Pts). Points are awarded as three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss. If two or more teams are level on points, tiebreakers are applied in the order set by the league organiser – typically goal difference, then goals scored, then head-to-head record, and finally disciplinary points.
Format
Serie B consists of 20 teams. Each team plays 38 rounds (home and away) over a season that usually runs from August to May. There is no split or championship round; the table is a single, continuous league. At the end of the season, the top two teams are promoted directly to Serie A. The third promotion spot is decided by a playoff involving teams finishing 3rd through 8th. The bottom three teams are relegated to Serie C, with a relegation playout sometimes used to determine the third relegation place if the gap between 16th and 17th is four points or fewer.
Promotion, relegation & qualification
Promotion: The top two teams in the Serie B table gain automatic promotion to Serie A. The teams finishing 3rd to 8th enter the promotion playoff; the winner earns the third promotion spot.
Relegation: The teams finishing 18th, 19th and 20th are relegated to Serie C. If the gap between 16th and 17th is four points or fewer, a relegation playout is held between those two positions, with the loser going down.
What to watch in the table
- Title race: The battle for the top two automatic promotion spots often goes down to the wire, with historic clubs like Parma Calcio and Palermo pushing for a return to Serie A.
- Playoff scramble: Positions 3rd to 8th are fiercely contested – every point can decide who gets a shot at promotion through the playoff.
- Relegation scrap: The bottom of the table is equally tense, with clubs like Virtus Entella, Cittadella and Reggina fighting to avoid the drop or the playout.
- Form streaks: Keep an eye on teams that go on long unbeaten runs or sudden slumps – the table can shift dramatically in a few matchdays.
