Monza have won promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking via the Serie B play-offs and have now completed the full Serie A line-up for the 2026-27 season.

Monza have earned promotion back to Serie A thanks to a two-legged play-off final victory over Catanzaro, which came to an end on Friday night. Monza won their first leg 2-0 and were defeated 2-0 in their return fixture on Friday, but despite the tie ending level, it was Monza who earned promotion due to their superior league finish (3rd vs. 5th).

Monza defeated the fifth-placed Catanzaro over two legs of the semi-finals, drawing 2-2 in their first leg and winning 2-1 in the second earlier in May.

It is an immediate return to the top flight for the Brianzoli, who were relegated from the Italian top flight at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

They join 2025-26 Serie B winners Venezia and runners-up Frosinone as the newly-promoted sides in Serie A.
