Serie B as the second tier of Italian football

Serie B sits at tier 2 of Italian football. Lega B runs the competition as the direct step below the top division in Italy. A clear table of key facts follows this overview.

Format and teams in the 2026–27 season

The league operates on a straight round-robin format where 20 teams meet home and away across 38 rounds. Points accumulate over that span rather than in a knockout final. Play in the 2026–27 season began on August 20, 2026 and is set to finish on May 20, 2027.

Lega B runs the show now: that body took over from Lega Calcio in 2010 after the earlier organisation ran the league. A win earns three points, a rule set in 1994, while a draw brings one and a loss none.

The third spot is not automatic. Relegation works differently down the table, with teams finishing 18th to 20th dropping directly to Serie C.

Past champions and the current title holder

Venezia holds the title after winning in 2025–26. The structure changed often before finding its modern shape. A promotion-relegation system was introduced by the Federal Assembly on 31 August 1912 to link the tiers. In 1921, the Pozzo Plan created a true national second-tier league called Seconda Divisione, which later became the league.

Over time, the field grew significantly as the league expanded to 20 teams in the 1958–59 season, a format lasting 35 years. Governance shifted when Lega Calcio ceased to exist on 1 July 2010, replaced by Lega Serie A and Lega the league. VAR was implemented for the entire regular season starting from the 2021–22 season.

Types of Serie B bets at 1xBet

The league is a league where a draw remains a valid outcome after 90 minutes. That reality shapes the core match result market, which prices three distinct possibilities: home win, draw, or away win. A winner is not forced here because the scoreline can stay level. Double chance covers two of those three outcomes if you want to narrow the risk. Both teams to score asks whether each side finds the net at least once during regulation time.

The outright market is priced long before the first whistle blows. It settles on which club lifts the title after the full season runs its course. Handicaps level the playing field when one side enters as a heavy favourite, while over/under goals sets a line for total strikes across the match. Correct score requires an exact prediction of the final tally, and first goalscorer names the player who opens the account. Accumulators let you combine several league odds into a single wager to multiply potential returns.

Match markets

Football matches end in a tie after 90 minutes, making the match result (1x2) the core wager for Serie B, covering a home win, draw, or away win. Handicaps and totals let you refine that read when one side is clearly stronger, while correct score and first goalscorer add specific risk to the slip.

Asian and European handicaps are offered on every match.

Outright and specials

The outright market runs the full season. You back the team that finishes top of the Serie B table to win the title, and that wager settles once the final round ends. Specials cover individual player milestones or specific match events, priced separately from the main result.

How to start Serie B betting on 1xBet

Registration takes only a few minutes at 1xBet. A new account is opened before you can place any wager on the competition. The sportsbook has run since 2007 and holds a Curaçao eGaming licence for its operations. You'll need basic contact details to finish that setup. Once funded, the full range of pre-match and live markets becomes available.

League matches offer several distinct ways to back an outcome. Handicap lines let you back a side with a virtual start or deficit depending on the form. Totals ask whether the goal count passes a set line rather than who wins. Specials and exact-outcome markets carry higher odds for a precise call on the scoreline.

You can bet on Serie B using either pre-match prices or live odds that move as the event unfolds. An accumulator combines several selections into one price, multiplying the potential return across legs. A system bet keeps part of the return even if some selections in the slip lose. Cash-out lets you settle a wager early based on the current position of the match.

1xBet bonuses for Serie B betting

The welcome offer applies to your opening deposit at 1xBet. This bonus targets new accounts that fund their balance for the first time before placing a Serie B bet on any match in the league. You do not need to wait for a specific round of fixtures to claim it, since the trigger is simply the act of funding the account.

Accumulators are where the odds increase at 1xBet. Adding more legs to your multi-leg wager increases the potential return via the accumulator boost mechanic. A single slip covering several league matches can therefore pay out more than the standard odds would suggest, provided all selections win.

Cashback rates shift with loyalty, and a free bet allows you to stake a selection on the outright market or a match result without risking your own account balance. Promotions change over time and each carries its own conditions that define exactly when and how they settle.

Payments, app and support on 1xBet

The 1xBet app handles pre-match and live betting for Serie B directly from your phone. Installing the Android version from the official site rather than a third-party store keeps the setup straightforward. Push notifications flag goals, results and price changes on tracked events so you never miss a shift in the odds. If you skip the app entirely, the mobile site mirrors the full sportsbook.

The download size is 46. Funds move through a wide range of deposit and withdrawal methods supported by 1xBet. Cryptocurrencies are accepted for both deposits and withdrawals alongside traditional options. Deposits are usually credited quickly once confirmed, but account verification may be required before your first withdrawal clears. Email support handles specific account and payment queries that need a written record.
